The free market has given birth to these outragous costs. The free market, left unchecked, will eventually spiral down to a system based on profit alone. As medicine is something everyone needs, they can afford to hike up prices to unreasonable heights and "personal responsibility" has no control over that. It is your and my responsibility to stop those free marketeers from taking advantage of or hurting people. How would I go about doing that? Threatening to take away their market. How would you do that? Put universal healthcare on the table. Either private healthcare shapes up, or federal healthcare takes over.
