I believe treatment efficacy rates are important too.

I think all of these factors are relevant. You need to look at the whole picture to see if the market is truly fair for patients. Although, personally, I'd start with the profits - that's where the real juicy stuff is usually hiding.

Haha, the government of Eastland is really on top of things, aren't they? I bet they're just as efficient as the healthcare industry they're investigating.

I'm not sure about D. Medical treatment efficacy doesn't really have anything to do with competition, does it? Seems like they're trying to throw in a red herring there.

Definitely B, C, and E. You gotta look at market dominance, pricing, and barriers to entry to see if there's any anti-competitive shenanigans going on.
