Why is flu vaccine free?

Karen D Coster at http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/ has juxtaposed a series of news article to demonstrate what we see all to often:

A poorly run company goes bankrupt, it is bailed out by a government contract, and a politician hails the event as a wonderful thing. No doubt because of the wonderful campaign contributions the company will be able to give.

Aside from what De Coster says, I am mystified as to why flu vaccine must be “free” and thus under total government control.

We need eggs, the government does not control eggs, we have plenty of eggs.

Flu vaccines are easier to make with far cheaper infrastructure than is required to produce eggs.

Why we do not have a free market in flu vaccine, i do not know. I do know we are headed for trouble becuase of this foolishness.
