I mean, the government could literally impose limits. Set a price limit, and a minimum standard for whatever they're tendering for. Like "We need a minimum of X vials of insulin per year, meeting X standard, and any company is eligible". But keep overall control of the healthcare system to makesure it isn't failing and bankrupting everyone.
Or they could just do it themselves. I really don't see why compition between companies is considered the only form of competition. If Universal healthcare truly fails, then people will begin to beg for an alternative. But I never see that happen, desu.
My experience with UK healthcare has been pretty good. The mental health services need significant imrpovement, but only the rich get mental healthcare at all in the US, so I still preter what we have here. Plus, you are always free to buy private healthcare here if you want.
