This would be great if health choices were being made by rational consumers. But when I break my leg, I want services quickly and I don’t have time or energy to price compare ambulances. Healthcare is not a marketplace that will have compassionate outcomes if we allow deregulation.

Yes, because in countries where health care prices are 3-100x lower it is total anarchy. People lie on the streets for hours, browsing price comparison websites while bleeding out.

in most countries you don't get billed your quarterly wage when an ambulance picks you up for a 10 min drive to the hospital.
