So how would getting the government completely out of healthcare work? Anyone have a real workable path to executing that theory?

We had entire massive industries deregulated in a period from the late 1970s through the 1980s. I'll list telecommunications, freight transportation, and energy as three big ones. Use that as a model and let's get started.

The story of telecommunications in the U.S. since the 1970s is a good case study to illustrate the value of deregulation. It explains why you pay thousands of dollars a year for health insurance that is worthless, and you pay $600 for an iPhone that has more computing power than the entire U.S. space program did when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.
