Answer 1

Welcome, Abdel.

Here's your original question: "Medical care is so special that normal economic forces do not apply and normal economic tools are not always used, explain the above statement."

Supply and demand do operate in the health care sector. Hospitals and doctors supply the care that their patients demand. However, poor patients still receive appropriate care even though they can't afford to pay for it. Government, charities, and high insurance premiums make up the difference.

But health care varies greatly around the world. In many instances the demand is present but the supply is drastically limited.
