But there's 2 major problems with forcing medical practitioners into a market:
1) at the time you need treatment, you may not have any choice (or you may be in pain, or ...). So expect to see free root canals with $10k pain relief "option". Or have "normal" medicine (e.g. mild ear pain) priced into the ground and get gouged on emergency procedures (e.g. acute inner ear pain).
2) it is somewhere between very hard and impossible for normal people to see the quality of medical treatment. Given what can happen with bad quality medical treatment ... I find this a very scary prospect.
