>> if these companies created something with their own money to serve a market that wants it <<

Henry Kaiser did just that in the 1940’s. His system must be “OK” because it survives yet until today.

Still, anything like the Kaiser approach — which it seems the Buffet-Bezos-Morgan behemoth will be — isn’t gonna solve the American health care industry’s huge overall problems, as long as third parties (government, insurance companies, whatever) stand between most patients and most of their doctors.

>> anytime there is pressure in the form of “competition” regardless of the industry, it’s usually benefits of the end user/consumer <<

Yeah, but if the competition comes from Canada, Mexico or another foreign country, it’s bad.

Like for example, we don’t need no foreign washing machines.

Correct?

“...Correct?...”

Correct. It has to be an even playing field where each entity has the same fair shot. I was primarily talking about domestic businesses that are on an equal basis.
When a domestic producer is hamstrung by tons of regulations and is trying to compete with a foreign producer that doesn’t have hardly any, that is NOT a fair playing field. We’ve all seen it with our own eyes through the years. It’s been unhealthy for our country and now we have a huge imbalance because of it.
Theoretically, in a totally “free” marketplace, it shouldn’t matter. But we all know such is not the case, especially when dealing with foreign competition.
