I doubt it is that well aimed. Rather, I think they don't understand the consequences of their actions . The best solution is, of course, as I presented in the article - decentralisation. If full market based system is allowed to prosper and the government concedes that it doesn't have a role in healthcare provision, then we will see a system that fits everyone's individual needs. Ultra-luxurious hospitals for the "super rich" and some for the middle and for the bottom. However I don't think this will create a division in the quality of the healthcare, at the very least not in life saving one. Cosmetics might be a different case, as that is luxury. The free market a.k.a. the individual people, will see an opportunity, if someone is exploiting a certain group of people - the poor, for example. There will be an opportunity to provide higher quality service for a better ratio of price. Having the opportunity to choose, people would go for whatever ratio of price-quality meets their preferences and needs. That in fact is the best way forward, not a centralised system that cannot be questioned.
