That would hardly ever happen because insurance would cover it.

In a free market insurance would be cheap and everyone who wanted it would have it.

Nice try (seriously), but no insurance company is going to pay $100,000 to set a broken arm. The doctor in my post #53 wants his $100,000. Insurance might cover $1000.

So he simply demands that the patient come up with the rest. He is applying the old supply and demand principle. Should he be allowed to do that?

Or should emergency situations trump free market principles?

(Oh, and I’ll add that the good doctor doesn’t care if he gets fired tomorrow. He’s off to Vegas to become a professional poker player.)
