I don't think the size and investment costs of physicians and pharma are incomparable to natural resources. Oil companies have great investment costs, their market is huge. Rather I would say it's the complexity, dynamic nature and innovation of healthcare that make it unfit for a command economy. Advanced technology is the single biggest problem in healthcare today. Expense is damn near the only natural limit on quality of service that can be provided. It's impossible to have a rational conversation over how much we should spend to keep someone alive in their last months.
