Definition of capitalism is.....

An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

So, how do you figure it aint capitalism? Perhaps you meant free enterprise? To previous poster re insurance companies somehow driving up medical costs I would ask do you prefer competition or a single payer controlled by bureaucrats and pols?

(Hint: My patients or I can "fire" an insurance company)

Ches,

You are right. I should have said "Free market capitalism."

However, I question how a patient can fire an insurance company?

Thanks. Gene
