He should read about Andrew Lanese in Ontario, who had (perhaps he's still alive, I don't know) Hunters Syndrome but the Ontario Health Insurance Plan denied coverage for the drug he needed - Elaprase. The OHIP plan denies coverage for so many drugs and procedures yet there is no competition - although people do have private drug coverage for cancer drugs and others not paid for by the province. My opinion is we should not be reliant on ANY third party, except maybe charity. Insurance should go back to being precisely that - not the maintainance crap it has been since the 60s.The US needs more free market reforms and I applaud your efforts!
