Do you think medical care ought to be a service allocated in the market like any other good or service, where those who are willing and able to pay the prevailing market price will receive it, while those who are unwilling or unable to pay the current market price will not receive it? Or, do you think that medical care services should be allocated by some other means? If so, then by what means should medical care services be allocated?

Why do surpluses drive prices down while shortages drive prices up?
