I would agree that American policies have increased the size of our healthcare sector, but is this really something that can be attributed to free market decisions? How much more growth can we handle when it is already 18% of our GDP ($3.4 trillion)? There is probably an argument to be made that healthcare in the USA is better than a place like Canada, but I really don't think it is 2 times better (~$10,000 vs ~$5,000 per capita).
