When capitalism is inefficient, what shall we do? Oh, and please. Capitalism does have its strengths. And let's remember: the private sector makes a ton of money off the Medicare system.
A system that approximates Medicare should be more efficient. A close approximation of a socialistic system for delivery of health care services just may be more efficient. Is there anything wrong with facing that possibility?

Just a guess.
