"If you ask me though, the biggest quackery is the notion that copays/coinsurance modify consumer demand so that people only get the health care they need and never ever put themselves at risk because of perceived financial difficulties. Even poor people. Certainly many more people have died and suffered because of the false application of economic ideology than misapplying false claims from the margins of medicine."
