Wow, more of this &quot;free market&quot; non-sense.<p>a) It&#x27;s not a free market. Especially in cases with life-threatening diseases a person can&#x27;t just &quot;walk away from a deal&quot;, that would be suicide for that person.<p>b) Entities banding together to negotiate a better price? Boohoohoo how unfair. Welcome to capitalism. Oh wait, if the entity were for-profit companies all would be fine, right? It&#x27;s only bad when citizens band together.<p>Is it so hard to accept that in all other civilized countries health care works better and at a more reasonable cost?<p>Get your shit together, Americans.
