Kevin Carson's latest paper at Center for a Stateless Society talks about the mutual aide societies that existed in the 19th century and the government intrusions that pushed them out of the market. It also goes into the high overhead costs that current regulations and subsidies create, making healthcare unaffordable for working people, and which recent healthcare "reform" will do little about.
This paper's blurb reads:
"In healthcare, subsidies to the most costly and high-tech forms of medicine crowd out cheaper and decentralized alternatives, so that cheaper forms of treatment—even when perfectly adequate from the consumer’s standpoint—become less and less available."
