You think predicting how the free market mechanism might respond to a trend in society is none of anybody's business?

Originally posted by WajomaIt was your non-sequitur, not mine. You have no predictions on how the free market mechanism might respond to the possibility of a health crisis like the one mentioned in the OP?
Are you reading your own posts? What has the free market got to do with taxing, subsidising and regulating?
Originally posted by WajomaLet's get one thing straight. When you deliberately misspell 'government' and 'bureaucrat' in your posts, does it mean you really, really, really don't like them, or does it mean you think they're kind of OK and that's why you refer to them in a really, really, funny way?
Let me guess, another gummint buratcracy pumping out some scarey stats in the hope of expanding their realm, control and budget.

Privatise health care then you better look after your health a bit better, eat well, exercise or it's going to cost you.
Originally posted by WajomaWhen I asked you about how the free market might respond to a health crisis you brought up "taxing, subsidising and regulating". That's surely to do with the other question - the one you ignored - about the government. The free market doesn't set taxes, subsidies and regulations.
"And how is it exactly that you think the free market mechanism might come up with ideas on taxing, subsidising and regulating?"
The question makes no sense.[/b]

Originally posted by FMFCorrect, so why would you ask that question, my response was that if YOU want to look at trends and try to scare people with scarey stats and crises, no worries eh, just don't get any inclinations to force all those other busbody ideas on others.

Edit: Be good if the stats were put together with voluntary funding too.

Correct, so why would you ask that question, my response was that if YOU want to look at trends and try to scare people with scarey stats and crises, no worries eh, just don't get any inclinations to force all those other busbody ideas on others.
