Sort of. Usually "regulation" in these areas ends up being a messy compromise between ideologues, with any economic subtlety left by the wayside.

Edit: in the case of education and medical, administrative costs are growing tremendously. Not sure if that's because of excessive government regulation but it would be interesting if someone could untangle that.

If you want an extremely accurate and often hilarious book on what’s wrong with healthcare, I recommend “Overcharged”. If anything it taught me that everything is negotiable with health insurance.
