When people don’t value something at its price, that usually isn’t its price.

I thought the most significant feature of Obamacare, right from the start, was that it was going to safeguard insurance company profits and even add to them significantly. A healthcare scheme which in which all the benefits (i.e., transfer payments) flowed from corporations and upper income citizens to a subset of lower income citizens would never have been acceptable to Congress or businessmen or any other influential group of Americans. So Finklestein, et al. are basically reporting that PPACA is doing what it was supposed to be doing to get enacted in the first place,

I don’t think anyone should be surprised most people don’t value healthcare at anywhere near the cost in the country where it is vastly more expensive than anywhere else. That is why it is third party paid from employers, insurers, to government. They do value it at more than their portion of it though. Mostly this just points to how much other things are valued when you need everything, but who is willing to provide for those? The health industry benefits, but they also pay a fair share of the cost through above average incomes, so carry some weight over spending.
