From a health economics perspective, the main argument is flawed: ¨if you increase the demand for a product without increasing the supply, there will be a shortage¨. Why? Because health markets are imperfect, in many ways. For example, because of the ¨moral hazard¨ problem, more healthcare resources are consumed than the amount required for satisfying the needs –which are not necessarily the same as wants and demands–. As a result, the US, already destines about 16% of the GDP to health care, more than any other nation in the world (most expend less than 10%). The main challenge, therefore, is how to redistribute the existing resources more efficiently, in order to make room for all. Other nations have a better record.
