This is exactly the issue. You cannot seriously think that the trainwreck that is US healthcare is what it is solely because of government intereference?

Would Cigna fund and run the tiny little community clinics that serve with sliding-scale pricing? Would Kaiser willingly insure students with preexisting conditions at a fair price? (I know that in my case, they wouldn't)

What "free market" incentive is there for these insurance companies to cover people that would clearly cost them more money than they receive? Those people need help and sickness/viruses do not have any concept of money, and they effect people indiscriminately.

You are promoting a healthcare system for the wealthy and privileged, which is exactly what we have right now and what needs to be torn down.
