Some argue that:

  • Only government can be relied on to make sure healthcare is delivered fairly and equitably;
  • Healthcare decisions are too complex for patients alone, and government intervention is essential to organize choices;
  • Healthcare is costly, and governments must control pricing so companies and professionals don’t reap profits from providing healthcare.
