Free markets determine price. Price is determined by a willing buyer and a willing seller. As to healthcare insurance companies started in 1983 to challenge the need for healthcare, its duration and its cost. Medicare and Medicaid reduced fees. With the advent of the ACA those individuals have to purchase one of four policies at higher prices and an increase in out of pocket costs. The fees paid by ACA policies are at or below Medicaid's fixed fees. Those purchasing ACA policies may qualify for a subsidy. The element of fraud along these lines has already been noted but not addressed.
I could go on with more but what I am essentially saying is that there is no willing seller or willing buyers because it is all heavy regulated by DOJ, IRS, etc.....ergo there is no free market. So begin learning to say things like Welcome Commrade as statism= Stalinism
