Introduction
As supply and demand for most markets tend to work perfectly, that is not the case with the health care sector. The demand for healthcare is unlimited.

The healthcare system is based on the third party payer system. The payment is neither paid by the patient nor the provider but the health insurance. The health insurance acts as the third party. The payer is not represented anywhere in the supply-demand curve. ...
