No necessity should be for-profit (exclusively).

If it is required (by nature, civilization, or by law) it is literally extortion to make a profit on it.

While I don't disagree with this sentiment, it can be taken too far:

Covering every disease to the point where everyone gets unlimited exotic multimillion dollar treatments
Giving everyone unlimited delivery of high end chef prepared food
Giving everyone access to the best colleges to study whatever they want (no one will study to be a plumber or chimney sweep, roofer, berry picker etc.)

So within the necessities to stay alive and aligned with the means and needs of the society I can agree. Where this all falls apart is that inevitably some tribunal will decide this and inevitably someone will take control of said tribunal to funnel the best food/health care/education/jobs to their cronies, as anyone who lives in a former Soviet state like myself can attest to.

That's why I mentioned exclusivity.

There should be high end private grocers. There should be plastic surgeons. These should be allowed to be privately owned

Plastic surgeons are a necessity for some, no?
