I'm sorry, but could you provide a single scrap of evidence saying that this is true? That the free market leads to cheaper health care?
I'm not looking for an opinion here, I'm looking for a factual study - a comparison, any where any time, that found the free market option to be cheaper for the consumer.
I mean, to my knowledge, in the USA, pre-obamacare, people were paying the most in the world for their healthcare. Sure doesn't sound cheap.

Show me one person in the USA who will never need health care. It's not something you choose to use or not - it's mandatory, for everyone. Fact of life: you will get injured, you will get sick. You will need health care.
