My comment wasn't meant to say anything about single payer systems. You used the Lasik surgery market as an example of a "highly functional medical market" and acted as if it is something to aspire to, when it clearly isn't. That's all I'm saying.
But if we want to go down that rabbit hole, a single payer system like the NHS isn't profit-driven like laser eye clinics are, so there's one way it differs. Doctors aren't incentivized to "sell" unnecessary surgeries.
