I agree that there are no free market systems anywhere and that corruption is a huge problem. That's universal and not just related to healthcare.
I would say that another alternative would be full transparency in costs and prices, that way the public can understand what they are paying for. One example is an Oklahoma City surgery center showing their prices online for all to see. http://kfor.com/2013/07/08/okc-hospital-posting-surgery-pric...
Ultimately I have no faith in what the US is doing, mainly because it's the same problem all around: the government get's involved in a negative way, then years later claims it's the only thing to fix the problem by becoming more involved. Yet it never actually address's the issues from the beginning.
