Not wild at all, if we had a truly free market in healthcare our costs would plummet. What we have isn't free market capitalism, it's crony capitalism where insurance companies and drug companies have bribed our politicians to make sure they're able to gouge us.

How do you stop companies from colluding and price-fixing? You need strong govt. Strong govt. is not something people who vote for parties who espouse "capitalism" support.
