Is there a successful healthcare system you'd point to that was achieved via deregulation?

  I'm not sure OP was implying any claim that removing regulation would lead to a great healthcare system, just that the US regulations are bad and causing many of the system's problems. In better-run nations, the healthcare systems are highly regulated, but the regulation is actually (mostly) intelligent and implemented to have a positive effect. For some reason, when the US tries to do regulation, it somehow manages to do a uniquely bad job at it, causing a negative effect.

    Maybe it depends who you want to benefit with your regulation - the patient or the provider? Because I'd argue providers seem to make good money within the US regulation.

      I'm not so sure about that actually. I think the real winner in the US system is the insurance companies.
