And there was an entire thread about how those regulated monopolies are not working well. In particular PG&E in California.

My point was just we do have regulated monopolies in the US. But healthcare in the US isn't a fully regulated monopoly.

I'll argue whatever PG&E problems are they don't rise at all to the level of healthcare. And their problems are due to poor regulation and the US's current terrible management culture.
