A truly free market in health services would evolve on its own to meet people's needs, rather than be designed and legislated. But these ideas constitute a step away not just from the Obamacare fiasco, but from the highly regulated, increasingly unsatisfactory situation that prevailed beforehand. They involve less coercion, fewer dictates from above, and more dynamism and choice.
Maybe someday we'll be able to pick and choose our health care in a world that offers all of the options and innovation that we find when we go out to eat. For now, though, let's just do our best not to end up with the medical equivalent of shit on a shingle.
