Because the regulations encourage vertical monopolies. Replacing that with a state mandated vertical monopoly unconstrained by market forces isn't going to help. In fact it'll probably make the situation worse. There is no reason for there to be monopolies in healthcare and if they are emerging that strongly suggests misregulation. Giving the regulators more power in that sort of situation is the opposite of helping.

So far it's beating your argument pretty handily. I'm not sure why you think it is worth writing that without including one; but my advice would be if your going to post a comment disagreeing with someone you should include some actual arguments or evidence. It helps keep the threads from rambling on.
