I have played nicely with you and I expect the same kind of discourse from you. If you fail to place nice in the "sandbox", I will take counter-measures--because "one in glass houses ought not throw stones..."

Some parts of education, and some parts of medicine, could be improved by allowing competition. Some parts are not suitable for competition (emergency brain surgery, parts of special education, etc.).
An expensive part of medical care, ambulance service, is high priced because the govt. usually limits the service to one company. If you needed an ambulance ride home from the hospital, and called three services asking for a price, you could choose the cheapest (and the services might offer you a deal: "after 6:30, we offer a $50 discount", etc.)
