The obvious conclusion is that parts of the American 'free market economy' are effectively a planned economy.

The US healthcare sector is probably the most glaring example.

The tangled web of oligopolies, lobbying, legislation and misregulation that makes it so is somewhat less transparent than Soviet-era Kremlinology.

Nevertheless, it represents an exercise of unaccountable power, to the disadvantage of the citizens, denizens, and prisoners who live there; and elsewhere, as we see today with ADHD medications...

...And with creeping 'soviet' infiltration of our own healthcare system, at all levels.
