Your joking right? never have more people in the history of the world been killed accept in the name of profit, which is what drives "free market" you have to be kidding, or you absolutely haven't the faintest clue of what social justice is. Free market is about distributing rescources to the largest number of people who can afford it, this doesnt even deserve to be in the same sentence as justice. As far as taking the labor of the doctors, they dont have to work here, they dont have to become doctors, here are some other examples; military, fire, police, politicians, school teachers, tax collectors, space explorers, etc. etc. etc. If you really want “social justice” and “equality,” the invisible (unbiased and impossible to bribe) hand of the free market is a better bet.

The debate comes down to those who see healthcare as a vital public service and those who don't. As for 'the invisible (unbiased and impossible to bribe) hand of the free market' - what planet are you living on? Planet Enron, where market traders have reinvented the laws of nature in a never-never land? I know pantomime is seasonal but you're not Peter Pan. You keep going round the same track.
