I think I’ve already pointed you to “How American Health Care Killed My Father.” If you haven’t read that I really suggest it: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2009/09/how-american-health-care-killed-my-father/7617/

Likewise, I suggest reading “Yes, Mr. President, a Free-Market Can Fix Health Care”: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10646

Lastly, regarding pre-existing conditions and other insurance rigamarole and the ability for a free market to provide this, I suggest this fascinating paper on Health Status Insurance: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=9986
