We should have medicare for all with private healthcare based on classical liberal free market principals. Meaning not one or two healthcare facilities in the state that fix prices and get bailed out by big daddy government when they screw up. Instead we should have many healthcare options in a state all competing. That will being down prices and if one fails they do not have the option to be bailed out which will create incentives for righteous practice.

Do you think classic liberal free market works?

My experience is that human nature leads to people cutting corners, lying about products and outright defrauding customers, which in turn leads to governments stepping in and making laws and standards and within a short time there's massive over-regulation and crippling compliance costs.

And hops in beer instead of magic mushrooms (damn those germans).

free markets only really work when there's full visibilty of all processes, ie. game theory.

For everything else you need state oversight to keep abusers in check.
