Assuming efficiency is your prime objective, then there might be a
modicum of truth therein. But suppose you had other objectives? Is the
free market necessarily the "best" (determined by whatever your
ojectives are) way to regulate?


Usually.

Almost always when it comes to government intervention in private commerce.

Universally when it comes to forcing people to pay for other people's bad
health.
