They're also examples of places where a lack of government intervention can be harmful.
Wildfires are a problem in part because people, left to their own devices, build in places they probably shouldn't have. (Or plant eucalyptus in California. Whoops.)
Healthcare, unregulated, is where we get the term "snake oil salesman" and cocaine-based panaceas from; most of the places with more regulation of healthcare than the US like Europe have both cheaper healthcare and similar health outcomes. An entirely unregulated economy gets you something more like Somalia and Afghanistan's. etc. etc. etc.
