But you can say no. In a free market, you can say no to a healthcare option if the service is poor or the cost is too great. And if there is a need for better service/lower costs, the market will provide based on basic supply and demand.

No, it won’t. Because demand for healthcare services is automatically very high. Healthcare providers have absolutely no reason to significantly lower costs. All it does is take money from everybody in the marketplace. 1/2

It’s collusion. They don’t have to directly communicate to collude. They know what’s in their best interests and they all do *that*. Same reason Democrats and Republicans don’t offer significantly better candidates. It’s not in their best interests. 2/2

1. The demand for services is high, but the supply for services would also be high in a less regulated market (elimination of market entry barriers). 2. The GOP/DNC don't 9ffer better candidates because they have shut out competition (ballot access) for third party candidates.

What market-entry barriers are there for doctors, specifically?

Seriously?

Yes. I’d love to see you say “they need to go to school and get licensed” as a negative against doctors.

Yes, licensing and such is indeed a barrier to entry, just as it is with hairdresser and taxi drivers. Cc: @senatorshoshana
