There's a third side and it's the one that's been winning: use regulatory capture to increase health industry profits. This is the side that brought you the ACA and individual mandate. The only reason the mandate existed was to protect insurance company profits. If you look at the cost of healthcare, it's skyrocketed post-ACA. While I'm a proponent of socialized medicine and M4A, without a doubt even the free market would be better than what we have.
