I'd actually be in favour of deregulating a lot of healthcare, but probably not for the same reasons as you. I think a cheap but unverified device/consultation/surgery is better than none at all (where only an unaffordable regulated option exists). But that's miles away from how society, even American society, functions. Without some mechanism to manage trust you can just remove the safeguards. It's actually quite possible to keep the safeguards and run a half-decent healthcare system, and this is surely much easier than finding a way to let people take calculated risks without causing mass deaths and a collapse in social cohesion.
