The problem is that the opposite isn't much better. When budget becomes the driving factor in healthcare. That means things are getting cut out or rationed and you have long delays. The trick is finding a balance between regular healtchare (flu, stomach pain and other illnesses) and then things like cancer treatment. In my world the best mode would have people pay for all the short term stuff and then have the collecive paying for serious things. I would be in favor of a completely free market as that would drive prices down but I don't believe we can get a completely free market so the above would be my second best option.
