Why does healthcare even exist?
For too long, we’ve been asking the wrong question
In the ongoing healthcare debate, people often ask: Why isn't healthcare affordable and accessible to all? This is the wrong question to ask. It assumes that a hidden supply of healthcare exists somewhere, and that if the government (or someone) could just find it or stop the wealthy from hoarding it, healthcare would be as free and accessible as sunshine. A better question is: Why does healthcare exist at all?
