      Is the US system something to look towards? AFAIK, the cost per patient in the US is twice that of Denmark which has universal healthcare (as well as private operators).

      The US system is quite bad since the New Deal and WWII, that somehow tied healthcare to work-based insurance contracts, with an absurd amount of regulations, monopolies and bureaucracy. US doctors spend more time in bureaucracy than in patient care—and that's after hiring aides.

      Of course, the socialist party aka "Democrats" is pushing for ever more communism as the "solution" to all problems caused by government regulation. Meanwhile, regulatory cartels of insurance companies milk citizens and destroy accountability through opaque bulk pricing.

      A "good" insurance plan will reimburse "over 90%" of medicine costs—but with a $15 "copay" and a regulatory limit to a few days worth of pills. Thus *after reimbursement* you end up paying more for a 3 month supply than buying unreimbursed on international free markets online.

      Are there any acceptable healthcare system anywhere in the world or are we comparing real life to a theoretical nirvana?

      A system is the opposite of what's needed. Freedom. Let people organize without coercion, monopolies, mandates, arbitrary regulations, bureaucracy. Patients, doctors, charities, mutual insurance associations and companies, etc., can peacefully cooperate and compete without guns.

      How do you prevent monopolies? It is what businesses want, history tells us.

      Quite the opposite, monopolies are by essence what government produces—itself the mother-of-all monopolies. https://mises.org/library/myth-natural-monopoly …

      So the coal, oil and steel trusts of the 18. century was what? Granted by government? A historic accident?

      I'm more familiar with industrial history in the XIXth century, where monopolies can be traced directly to government intervention, protectionism, lobbyism, regulatory capture, and even "antitrust".

      As for the XVIIIth, I'd like to see the data. But I'm generally unimpressed by people blaming the free market for the mercantilism of late ancien régime monarchies, or for their general basis of a master race owning and ruling the land by right of conquest.

          While competition may be good for the consumer, will not businesses go out of their way to limit competition, the best they can? Certainly, there has numerous cases of illegal collusion to limit competition in Denmark.

          The way they go to limit competition is to lobby the government for regulations that will exclude their competitors. And the government is happy to oblige, under a great number of wholesome pretenses.
