I suppose we're taking fundamentally different approaches to the issue of health care. I don't see it as one that can (or should) be solved by the free market - as far as I'm concerned, it's a fundamental human right. No person, anywhere on this planet, should have to worry about things like "money" when it comes to basic health and wellness. The fact that even one American (or anyone else really, but this is a US-centric list) doesn't, in my mind represents a deep-rooted failure of the free market, and of basic human kindness and compassion.
