Why would you assume a free market system in healthcare?

Why are you assuming that the labor market = the healthcare market?

I completely agree that "healthcare" is not a very free market. But we are not talking about buying medicine or medical procedures, are we?

Is that a free market system? It seems to me the parent is talking about the concept of price equilibrium, nothing else.
Price equilibrium is a foundational free market concept. It technically can't exist in a non-free market.
