That “enormously lucrative, parasitic industry” is a direct creation of the tax code, not capitalism.

Transfer the deductibility of health insurance from employers to employees, make all health care expenditures tax deductible — or even tax-exempt — scrap the “use it or lose it” rule for flexible spending accounts, and you’ll see that “enormously lucrative, parasitic industry” become a lot less “parasitic.’

Remember: no one is ever more parasitic than a politician.
