Nothing in Life Is Free
Holman Jenkins is usually good for the latest talking points from whichever business/industry is being assailed by the MSM.
But occassionally, he states the truth. (And, yes, that means talking points are sometimes truth and not spin.)
And the vital truth is that healthcare is "free" to most people. It is why insurance pays for things that vast majority of people would not agree to pay for if it meant them paying for it.
Another problem related to the perceived "freeness" of health care is we pay the providers of this free service as if it were not free but extremely valuable.
