Free enterprise and capitalism works very good for most things, but probably not healthcare. The difference is that healthcare is a monopoly. If you want to buy a car you go out and shop and try to get the best price for what you want. But if you are desparately sick, you go to the doctor regardless of the cost. You are too sick to worry about shopping around. In this manner I would suggest that healthcare is more like a monopoly like the gas or light company than it is a free market like selling hot dogs.

No, it's not a monopoly! It's siomply your LACK of immagination that limits your views.
If there were a free market on doctors and healthcare, then when you get too sick to worry about shopping around: different doctors COME TO YOU!!!
Yes, think about it for a second. With so many competiting doctors, they will all have to come to you and underbid themselves if they want your business!
If only we lived in that world...
