The first effect of a free market is that staffing costs will double almost instantly. A 10% vacancy rate and a 8-16 year lag for doctors and a 6 year lag for nurses will create inflationary pressures for staff.
Without a proper regulation structure there will be a drop in care (free market means profit, which means cost cutting which means understaffing. Just look at holland)
The second effect of free market will mean that only dense cities will have good facilities. Again, cities are the only place where you can run a profitable specialist centre.
What you are failing to grasp from my post is that the 50% of the issue with the NHS are largely cultural. Changing culture is hard.
Yes there are opportunities to create efficiency, but frankly there aren't enough staff to do that. This means spending more money on the NHS.
