The main issue with the US is that people don't buy healthcare till they get sick.

Then the government forces companies to insure them.

Everybody in every country will do the same thing because we are all greedy selfish people. Thus the reason why Capitalism works well when we let it do its thing.

More like that's exactly the reason there must be intervention. Because everyone's greedy and selfish (which isn't even completely true, only for the most part), the strongest end up taking advantage of the situation at the cost of the weaker. That's exactly what's happening in every country that has even hints of capitalism, and I don't see how the situation could improve if even the remaining restrictions were removed.
