You can just cherry pick examples unless you can explain how it's analogous. For example, healthcare suffers from natural monopolies to an extent. Hospitals don't really have to compete with each other, and it's really difficult to build a new hospital. The same principle applies to telecommunications.

On the other hand, healthcare is heavily regulated and hardly a free market, so it's pretty terrible comparison in that aspect.

Hospitals have a limited competition as well in other countries. Healthcare is also regulated in other countries, maybe not as much
