From the Conservative Tribune:

“I write this from the hospital. Seems I have lung cancer.”

That’s the first line of Fox News Host John Stossel’s letter to his fans yesterday, most of whom are libertarians. The title of the personal release from Stossel on the Fox News opinion page told readers: “I have lung cancer. My medical care is excellent but the customer service stinks.”

Throughout the piece, he made his disappointment at the lack of the free-market’s prevalence in the medical field clear.

“You may ask, ‘How could it? Patients don’t know which treatments are needed or which seller is best. Medicine is too complex for consumers to negotiate.’

“But cars, computers and airplane flights are complex, too, and the market still incentivizes sellers to discount and compete on service. It happens in medicine, too, when you get plastic surgery or Lasik surgery. Those doctors give patients their personal email addresses and cellphone numbers. They compete to please patients.

“What’s different about those specialties? The patient pays the bill.”

The more similar any two businesses appear to the buying public to be — and let’s face it, to a layman, a hospital is pretty much a hospital — the more likely those businesses will be to emphasize customer care in a free market as a way to differentiate themselves from their competition. If they don’t, they’ll slowly go out of business.

It’s the free-market way — people will buy pricier products and services when they know they’ll be treated like royalty by the employees and business owners.

In other words, he’s asking for the government to stop strangling the medical field…during his announcement that he has cancer. Sounds like he’s a survivor.
