Re: Free Market Understanding...Medicine

Two pretty good reads on the subject (but really still for wonks only):

The Cure: How Capitalism Can Save American Health Care by Dr. David Gratzer

The Amazon Blurb:

Drawing on personal experience in both the Canadian and U.S. systems, Dr. Gratzer shows how paternalistic government involvement in the health care system has multiplied inefficiencies, discouraged innovation, and punished patients. The Cure offers a detailed and practical approach to putting individuals back in charge. With an introduction by Milton Friedman, The Cure will be required reading for anyone who wants to know what is really wrong with the modern health care system.

and

Crisis of Abundance: Rethinking How We Pay for Health Care by Arnold Kling

This second one is really short, maybe 100 pages or so.
