I still say higher education and health care have the same underlying


problem.

The person who uses it isn't the person paying for it. And in that situation, capitalism falls apart.

All your normal supply, demand, and "informed consumer" forces that dictate pricing go out the window. We would never drop off a car to have it fixed or hire a contractor for a job without getting a fairly firm quote and having some idea how we're going to pay for it first. But health care and higher education decisions tend to be made in complete ignorance of cost.
