[snip] The first sentence of what you write above, do.rflex, is the best thing you've ever written...indeed, I think it should be in a book of quotes. The second sentence, however, is slightly flawed and inaccurate. Yes, the system makes for its sellers of goods and services "private money", as you say and is NOT designed to create any public good. However, as a by-product of this totally selfish-motivated system, I suggest to you that the public good is best served. You and others have observed that this may be true in some sectors of the economy but it is not happening in the health sector. And my observation would be: there isn't a true free market in the health sector; once there was, then we could judge it accordingly. There is TOO MUCH government control that in the health sector that I would suggest to you that its faults are the result of the socialized aspect, not the capitalist aspect.
