How in a free-market...

 

1. Would the sick, elderly and disabled not pay higher premiums than other people and much higher than they pay with any system in the Western world today?

2.  Would insurance companies give lower premiums to people who are bound to need health-care services in the immediate future?

They most certainly would not. That's not called insurance. That's called socialized healthcare.

I was saying that you're spamming the Mises Forum. Stop that.

He means that instead of posting every single question separately you could say "Hey, what's the deal with healthcare? What are the problems with the current system and what do you guys propose?" or you could try to read up on it first.
