While at the moment I don't know nearly enough about any proposed health care reform, I don't believe a capitalistic approach can resolve all situations.
Can a government controlled solution work? A quick look at Social Security and Welfare can answer that question.
A purely capitalistic approach is what has brought us to the insane costs of health care that currently exist. Capitalism is what brought the banks down - it is certainly not the supreme method of resolving financial issues. Some? yes... all? no.
I would be curious though at how effective the Canadian and UK health care systems are.
