I would never make a personal health care decision based on price.

I don't want to live in a society where we would let people suffer or die if they can not afford health care.

Given these two conditions, free-market forces aren't very helpful.

You already make personal health care decisions based on price. Did you get a complete physical and blood test today? If yes, will you do the exact same thing tomorrow?
I'm guessing that those are a lot more based on the inconvenience of doing such things daily than their price.
Price is about more than just cash.
