Free-market doctrine clearly does not include the government pushing an individual institution to the private sector. Deregulation of an entire industry is core to the free market doctrine. However, the intent in deregulation is to open an industry to the private sector, not a "business or two." By handing a "hospital" over to a single corporation you are offering no incentive for the corporation to perform efficiently, because the costs ARE supported by the state. It's easy to be lazy if you always have somebody to fall back on. I'll agree the model is doomed however, don't mistake your deranged model for anything approaching the free market.
