The concept of market medicine is the one prohibited consideration.

This would be a valid point, but it's not relevant to any discussion about modern health care in the U.S. The whole idea of "market medicine" is destroyed once you introduce any third party into the payment process -- regardless of whether that third party is a government or an insurance company.

Let's face it ... There are very few Americans who can afford to pay for their own health care if "market medicine" was adopted here.

You just repeated what I said as argument against what I said. It doesn’t play well.
