Looking at the mess that the healthcare sector has become presents yet another example that Communist-style policies do not work well.

Regarding the corrupt and inefficient healthcare system, the solution I would have preferred would be if the government had an unlimited low-interest credit line for each citizen specifically for medical expenses. This would allow anybody to get medical treatment regardless of their financial situation, but still keep the prices low by encouraging bargain-shopping as the credit line would still have to be repaid. Payments could be deducted from paychecks depending on income just like regular taxes.
