The uninsured medical market is actually quite efficient. e.g. lasik surgery can actually be done for very reasonable rates with full price transparency.

Lasik has gone down in real price over the years, yes.

But dental and vanity cosmetic surgery have gone up by that metric. Dental is less covered by insurance for most people. Vanity cosmetic insurance is covered for almost no one.

Vet care for pets has gone up a lot more than healthcare for humans.
