Leonard Fleck, a philosophy professor at Michigan State University, has written:
When it comes to health care in America, we have limited resources for unlimited health care needs. We want everything contemporary medical technology can offer that will improve the length or quality of our lives as we age. But as presently healthy taxpayers, we want costs controlled.
Why is it necessary for all economic systems to limit services such as health care? How does a market system prevent people from getting as many goods and services as they want?
