Market Place

Turns out that the cost of health care is around five times as much in Oregon where hospitals have monopoly than in regions they don't. And it's not due to cost of living or better care. It is entirely due to bargaining power. The actual numbers in negotiations have been published and they indisputably prove that without regulation, big health care screws over the people and milk them for everything they can get. Wow, this is such a surprise. Capitalism without regulation serves the owner class, not the other 99% of society.
