"Shopping around" among dentists is virtually impossible. I can have only the most superficial and largely useless opinion of a dentist until I actually allow them in my mouth, at which point the deal is done. This is not a "healthy market" comparable to anything we're talking about here.
Ditto laser eye surgery and pretty much anything else remotely medical in nature.
Chocolate is not a healthy market either: http://ideas.time.com/2013/11/01/why-so-little-candy-variety-blame-the-chocolate-oligopoly/ http://ideas.time.com/2013/11/01/why-so-little-candy-variety...
- mhb 13y agoOrthodontists - not dentists. Boxed chocolate - not candy bars. Orthodontia and laser eye surgery are examples of the types of healthy markets that flourish in the absence of over-regulation. You also seem to be conflating the health of markets and some idiosyncratic issues of your own regarding discovering competent suppliers.
