The health insurance industry has been operating under a free market
system forever.

Sorry - that is not correct.......big brother govt has had their hand in for quite some time, messing up the works.

How's that been working out? Not so good?

You're advocating the elimination of group coverage with it's lower
premiums. Good luck buying an individual policy with it's exclusions for
pre-existing conditions. 

If 100% of the people bought, we would have much lower pricing....and if tort reform came about, even more.....100% would buy if we quit giving it to them free.....
