::Government exists to protect the market; in a state of chaos or anarchy, the biggest thief with the biggest guns who leads the lawless mob will trample honest businessmen and traders. Yes, so to a certain extent, the market is an idealized construct, but it is in conjunction with human beings voluntarily living under a civil government.

Removing the sentence about Canada: because the British system has already been described, because patients fleeing Canadian healthcare system isn't the focus of the article and because it wasn't cited (see [[Conservapedia:Commandments]])
If anyone would provide a reliable source for the claim, and explain what it has to do with the article, I promise I won't argue about it :)
(+ added that Milton Freeman was an economist to give readers unfamiliar with him (like myself) an idea of why he's quoted) [[User:SaWi|SaWi]] 10:45, 28 March 2011 (EDT)
