If e.g. the government provided free healthcare for all...
That's a monopoly, chummer. One that funds itself by force, no less.
No, it isn't!  You are free to provide healthcare for free or any price as a supplement or alternative to the public service.  Most countries with a public health service have private alternatives for those who want to pay for it.
I see. So Standard Oil wasn't a monopoly, then?
