Before Obamacare, 1 out of every 2 dollars spent on health care in the US was spent by the government. It is hardly a free market. The education business has heavy government financial involvement, too.

On the other side, check the software business. It's a powerful engine for growth and wealth in this country, despite having driven prices for software literally to zero. And the software business in the US is the most free market industry in the country - no licenses, permits, subsidies, tariffs, regulations, etc.
