Is the healthcare industry, in America, as we know it today, a cartel?

Asked by Unbroken (10746points) December 11th, 2013

Would you agree that the healthcare industry is a private cartel?

And is the government trying to legislate it into a public cartel?

Basically we have alot of credible sources claiming we have a cartel history books and policy indicate deregulation is the answer. And instead we are heading toward down the path of public cartels. An example of a public cartel is OPEC.

So is this where we want to be headed? Whether one is democrat or republican I don’t think any nonmembers recipient of cartels like or want that kind of answer, so why aren’t we talking about this?

Why are we so divided? Why are we playing partisan politics?
