I'd say the solution is somewhere in the middle. In countries with socialized health care, people who have ongoing medical conditions suffer. Then again, those people who are generally healthy except for the occasional problem are well treated in public health care systems. There are many problems with both systems. So, while I can't say what the solution is, I will say it's nothing that is in practice so far (to my knowledge).
