I don't think the situation in the US is as market-based as these kinds of comments imply. There are a ton of regulations in the US healthcare market and quite a lot of anti-competitive corporate influence, probably even more than in some other countries.

Regulations don't imply that the healthcare is backed by the government, it's a different thing

I’m just saying that the idea of “the healthcare system in the US is extremely market based” is not really accurate. If anything it seems less affected by market dynamics than healthcare in other places.
