Consider specific, demonstrable reasons, as opposed to vague concepts like "greed," etc. 2) How does health insurance distort the normal supply and demand dynamics in health care, as opposed to other products and services? 3) Consider the marginal cost and marginal benefits of a service that is at least partially covered by insurance. What other considerations make health care different from other products and services?
