Umm...no. The UK is a single payer system, that is, the government holds a monopoly over healthcare purchasing (or nearly all healthcare delivered).
If a really skilled doctor wanted to charge a higher rate for their services, tough, he/she would get the same as every other doc.
It's not a "freer" system.
Maybe you're thinking of Canada?
My argument is that calling the UK system more "free" when a very large percentage of all healthcare delivered is purchased by a single payer is inaccurate.
From a moral standpoint it is immoral to force person A to pay for person B's misfortune. You and I call that stealing.
>they have regulators who are educated and understand the market
It is impossible to "understand the market" without market prices.
>It is a much free-er market than the USA market
The USA is not a free market. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying.
In the UK the .gov will fight for you instead of the corporation so you pay a fair price. The UK gov is under no life and death pressure to pay up or die, and they have regulators who are educated and understand the market. It is a much free-er market than the USA market.

Not getting screwed over when someone else gets screwed over does not imply some kind of survivors guilt is ethical.
