On: A Genealogy of the Idea of Universal Basic Income

Most health care is not emergency care so there is a lot of choice. Same with education.

They could easily be freed from massive amounts of regulation.

I would prefer more regulation to make sure prices are transparent. The current system is set up to make prices as opaque as possible. The employer has a lot of information, the provider has information, the insurance has information, but the patient is being kept in the dark. That is, until the big bill comes in the mail.

Completely agree. Prices are required. What hospitals are doing now basically amounts to fraud.

In no other 'market', since it's not a market, do customers have no idea if what the price of goods and services are.
