Government or free market: who is stenting the healthcare infarction?

Government or free market: who is stenting the healthcare infarction?
How can we keep healthcare accessible, inclusive, and affordable? And who should be responsible for this? Is market competition the solution, or should the government (re)take control? Has the public interest become subordinate to that of the free market? We discussed these questions with the public and a panel of experts.
