If there is a government system that doesn't cover all or a substantial portion of the population, say 70%, then it will be in substantial competition with private providers. Not just for the luxury stuff. There's no reason not to have private providers of luxury stuff -- is there?
Anyway, over time, the "competive government system" will either win the competition or not.
If it wins, you have socialized medicine.
If it loses, what do you have?
So what's the point of anything less than socialized medicine, with private providers of luxury stuff?
