Clothing is a wildly different market. Imagine if the only way to get clothes were through a bespoke tailor, in person. No other way. And you often had—had—to get a very specific kind of jacket or whatever, no option to sub some other article, or else you or your kid dies or lives in pain or something. That’s healthcare. If clothes worked that way that market would suck, too.

Yup! Food too[1].

On the other hand, the idea that healthcare HAS to work like that is definitely debatable.
