You're incorrect. Forget for a moment the labels. Any monopolistic system is going to produce stagnation and inefficiency; it is built into the model and it has to be dealt with in some manner or you are going to go wrong at the opposite end of the spectrum from where we are now. The mixed model is a good approach to dealing with the worst of both systems. the only thing missing is a requirement that companies above X number of employees are required to provide health care for all their employees and are not eligible to do so under the government's system.

There are more models than the US and Canada.
