A completely free market in healthcare will absolutely not work.

It doesn't work because of other reasons. And libertarianism is quite irrelevant. A good economist can point out the flaws in economic markets...using economics. A marxist alternative is clearly from the wrong century and is irrelevant. The important point that govermnet semi-intervention is part of the problem is perfectly plausible. That is a different point than no co-operation is needed for a viable solution. People co-operate all of the time without the need for a "government solution". Try staring at people in the elevator or invading the personal space of someone on the NYC subway if you want to prove this point to yourself.
