Why should someone sell food for a profit? We literally DIE within DAYS of we can't get food!
You see the issue here right?
Now.. who pays is the question. Imo it must be the state, because otherwise there are too many perverse incentives.
You don't foresee perverse incentives for the state being the buyer of healthcare? Namely, they aren't the patient, so the incentives have already been divorced is remote, plus they have an incentive to divert funds to consultants, regulators, and lobbyists that the actual consumer doesn't care about. There's some saying about how no one spends someone else's money as wisely as one's own.
