Because the company uses quite a lot of administrative pressure (patent trolling, vendor's bullying etc etc), hence the market is not competitive.

and you think that won't happen with health care?

It could happen, but it's totally unrelated to the original thesis regarding information asymmetry.

It is related, it is part of the obfuscation that corporations engage in to gain an advantage.

There are some things that work really well in a free market but health care will never be of those.
