Hong Kong has been named the world's freest economy for the 15th year in a row.

Btw, Hong Kong has Universal Health Care.

The US slid one notch to 6th place.

Report back to us your findings? All the real conservatives in the other healthcare thread are eager to know how 5 other countries can have a more free market economy than the U.S.

lol US is nowhere near the level of capitalism at play in HK. population density has lot to do with it.

US never truly had a free market economy.

US business, industry, markets, etc are among the most highly regulated and controlled in the world.
