Fred then lists 6 questions that he thinks any system should answer
if you intend to think deeply into this matter. I submit that there is
one question that should be answered before any of the 6 and is
more important than all of them put together:
Why is the health system in the USA more expensive than that of
any other country when its people are not healthier than that of 
any other country?

Yes, exactly. If you were free to chose ANYONE to treat you and
were not limited to those the government gave a permission slip
to practice medicine, and if you were free to put ANY drug into
your body, and if you could buy ANY drug over the counter, then
people would be richer and healthier than they are now.
Or at least the smart ones would be.

Of course not everyone is smart, so then as a bonus we'd get to see
a vivid demonstration of Evolution in action.
