The question becomes , is it in the best interests of a capitalist country to regulate a large portion of its economy.....probably not. So, we end up with exactly what we have for better or for worse. The best care for those who can afford it, and a far lesser system for those who cannot.
The question also becomes, what does a capitalistic country do with an industry that a large percentage of the population needs where there is little or no competition?
