The health care industry does not function like a market because the consumers are not free actors. First sick people cant shop around and second it is impossible to establish prices because the values are intangible

Emergency Room A: “I broke my leg! How much to fix it?” “”Well, if there are no other underlying problems, $80,000.”

“Oh heck no, I’m going to the next county to try Emergency Room B.”
