Should the state have the right to interfere in private-sector healthcare like this (Read Below.)?

In 2009 Doctor Muney decided to charge his patients 79 dollars a month plus a 10 dollar co-pay for unlimited doctors visits. This equates to a $948.00/year fixed rate and if one doesn't need more then 5 visits to the doctor a year, and does not need services outside of what the Muney can provide, they will spend roughly $1000 in health care costs a year. The state basically stepped in and told him he could not continue to do this because it was too similar to healthcare insurance. While this isn't a panacea for all issues in healthcare it certainly is a start. A large number of people can set aside money for this. Hell most people get at least 1000 in income-tax. If other doctors caught on to this they could help thousands and indirectly create competition in the health insurance market. They could directly help thousands, perhaps even millions, and could indirectly help many more. This is basically a small example of what the free market can do when left to it's own devices. I don't understand what the issue is. If the patients and their doctors agree to this what is the problem? He isn't doing anything wrong. Charging a 79/month rate for a service that will be provided throughout the year is reasonable and charging a 10 dollar per visit fee is reasonable as well. It is low, but makes people think before they visit their healthcare provider thus preventing possible overcrowding. He wasn't covering nearly as many things as health insurance does and does not cover anything he can not provide in his office. What is the issue?

Which in short means that clients that would be getting a bargain with him on his original plan now get charged $33 dollars for even the simplest visit. It is also likely affect the way he runs his business over time. Fair?
