A true free market is where someone can hold a gun to your head and make you pay them whatever they want, and you gladly do so because you got rid of all the police who could stop them. In a true free market, the guy with the biggest gun and the most money can buy everyone else out, so that he now has a complete monopoly.
You don’t really want a true free market. You want a market with full price transparency. You want a market with lots of competition, and where no one in the market can get an unfair advantage over anyone else. And that only happens if it is a well-regulated market, which is a lot like a well-regulated militia.
I never said I wanted full laissez faire capitalism. I just want the healthcare market to have the same ability to operate in our current "free market" as other private businesses do.
Usually when people say something regarding the "free market" they aren't calling for abolition of the government in it's entirety unless they explicitly mention such, but loosened legislative measures taken on a specific segment of the existing market.
