Market forces inevitable in health care. - Free markets exist everywhere and have provided us, as a society, with many benefits. A truly free market does not exist: all market sectors are bound within legal frameworks. For health care, the question is not whether a free market is feasible, but within which frameworks does it work exclusively. Establishing the framework is a particular political responsibility. Without the framework, health care will fall prey to political opportunists and lobbyists for pressure groups.
医疗保健领域市场力量不可避免。——自由市场无处不在，作为一个社会，它给我们带来了许多益处。真正的自由市场并不存在：所有市场部门都受法律框架的约束。对于医疗保健而言，问题不在于自由市场是否可行，而在于它在哪些框架内能够独立发挥作用。建立框架是一项特殊的政治责任。没有这个框架，医疗保健将成为政治投机者和压力集团游说者的猎物。
