Um healthcare?
Health care providers are not in the habit of denying care. Health insurers are because they have a perverse incentives to do so - this is why they should not exist
Exactly the people who sell the thing in high demand the issurers are in the business of denying care to people by raising prices on healthcare. I feel like your mind is in the right place I agree insurance companies shouldn't exist but what you said in your first comment is false large companies who sell high demand products absolutely gouge on prices all of the time.
That's literally not true though. They compete with each other over offering the lowest price.
That's funny. In reality they compete on increasing shareholder profits by colluding on prices and paying their employees as little as possible. And to be crystal clear "they" are the CEOS/boards of most major companies.
This is not at all how businesses operate lol
I'd love to see the rock you live under but it absolutely is how most large corporations operate. You quote economic theories as if they are fact, I'm speaking on the history of how large corporations have acted literally my entire life.
Unlike you, I work with senior leaders at big corporations. It is most assuredly not how they operate.
Ah so you're part of the problem got it. This you?
It took you this many attempts to make this shitty a post? Lol

Liver spots are just a skin pigmentation. They don't get erect.
