"There is a cult of ignorance in the US, and it has always been so. The tradition of anti-intellectualism has been a constant trend, which has made its way into our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is as good as your knowledge. "- Isaac Asimov

- no market forces just boards dicating prices, and if not profitable hospitals quitting. boards cant decide what serves ppl like markets can********
- thx to gov incentives and involvement they have completely removed the consumer from the equation and removed regular market forces********
- ppl know the market forces will drive prices down, but the fear of what ifs about not being able to afford care fucks everyone harder, & choose irrational plans********
