I don’t give even half a shit about whether a solution is “free market” or not. I care whether it’s private sector or publich sector. Charities are part of the private sector. And charities could do everything in the current health care reform billl and more (hell, a charity could provide UHC). Government involvement is completely unnecessary (unless, of course, one wants to force everyone to accept your ideas, which is exactly what you want to do).
