No 0ne is advocating government RUN health care!
There's nothing wrong with government-run health care, if it's funded properly. If any health care system is under-funded it will fail, just like anything else. If a health-care system is run by government or for government makes no difference. A health care system - obviously this is just my opinion - should be run on a cost-recovery basis and not for-profit basis. The profit motive inflates prices of health services and the profit goes to private hands, it's just another transference of wealth, has nothing to do with the improvement of the service itself.
The discipline of the free market is fine if you want to buy a car but it shouldn't be involved in the provision of primary health care, it doesn't make the system more efficient, it just makes it more expensive for no gain.
