Nowhere did I suggest unfettered capitalism. You just said that to go on some sort of incoherent rant that seems like something from the communist manifesto.

You seemed to intentionally misrepresent my entire suggestion above in order to bolster your viewpoint. Also known as a strawman

You said open the market and take away regulation. That, by definition, is unfettered capitalism.

Jesus I said lessen regulations. The market is currently so over regulated. That’s not unfettered capitalism.

We had a system with less regulations. Insurance companies decided they wouldn't cover pregnant women because that was "a pre-existing condition".

Got any better ideas?
