healthcare is only a free market to an extent. unlike consumer products, people are willing to pay any price for life or a guarantee of good health. and given care is so hard to quantify and there is so much uncertainty in comparing care, people will always simply trust the physician to pick whatever he/she thinks is best, with total disregard to the 'free market'. just my take on it.
