So you think that farmers sell corn at the prices because they fear they will get robbed or plundered otherwise, but hospitals fear no plunder?

No. I think I covered that with "the markets are so large that it's usually hard for a supplier to form a monopoly or a few to form oligopoly."

Healthcare market is really big as well. Why is it easy to build a monopoly there?

[arcticbull]

It's really not. Generally you're limited to two or three insurance providers in a state and in range of your car accident, about one hospital.
