There's no reason to assume that government care supply would rise to meet demand. If private pay is allowed, and medical school enrollment is not artificially constrained, supply can rise to meet demand at a low price.

> supply can rise to meet demand at a low price.

But would it? Those doing the training (eg surgeons) are benefitting from the high prices.
