Like I said, many of the costs associated with medical assistance is a result of heavy regulation. Likewise, if there were fewer regulation, I would imagine that teenager (I'm not sure who you're talking about) might have been able to get it. In any case, our government has a LONG history of making age-based prohibitions. See the age of consent, which varies from state to state, and even varies according to sex. Who is to say they won't impose the same ridiculous bullshit if they get their hands on health care?

So?? Healthcare has the advantage of having a captive customer base. If private services can't compete even with that advantage let them go out of business, just like anyone else in business.

Oh yeah, because if they can't compete with "free" health care, then they were no good, anyway.
