It wasnâ€™t government that gave us the yearly and lifetime caps on insurance coverage that have sent so many people into bankruptcy when theyâ€™ve faced a serious illness or accident. It wasnâ€™t government that gave us a system in which the gap between what we spend and what we get is so enormous. It was the free market.
