NO ONE WANTS A FREE MARKET SOLUTION FOR HEALTHCARE.

get over it.

a free market solution means dying baby gets turned away when parent has no money. otherwise it is not a market solution. no one wants this. no one. move to somalia, you can implement your plan there, life is cheap.

healthcare is not a business. no civil society is going to let you decline cusomters who cannot pay when it comes to keeping the baby alive.

I would think that not killing babies would be the kind of publicity advantage that really sets a business apart from its competition.

Reputation-based consumer feedback isn't a desirable mechanism in an industry where unsatisfied customers are dead customers (as opposed to e.g. dead batteries).

Only when it's a paid customer's baby.
