Perhaps a hot take (to some at least): the invisible hand works. Supply demand, it works [1]. Unfortunately, that also means that your life can be priced out of the market. If one finds that important, then it doesn't work.

Profit motives don't care about humans, it cares about profit. If it has to care about humans because of it, then so be it.

We've never been individualists. We need infrastructure, thus some form of collective action. Without roads, no freedom to comfortably drive a car, without the internet no freedom to comfortably search for information, without healthcare no freedom to comfortably stay healthy when a medical emergency occurs.

Could you imagine if all roads were a for profit road? Could you imagine if TCP/IP was for profit? Well, I think some of you could, as some of you know failed attempts of protocols for money at that deep of a level. I'm curious about the stories.

In any case, that's what's happening here with medical institutions that should have an infrastructure role.

[1] Well, to be fair, there are many caveats, but let's not go into oligopolies, cartel-like formations, etc.
