I don't think that is practical. The fundamental problem is that modern medicine has become too good. We can keep ourselves alive (not necessarily healthy) almost indefinitely and, significantly, have come to expect that. The problem is that - regardless of healthcare system - we're not willing to actually pay what that would cost (which I suspect would be something like twice what is invested in healthcare in Western European countries at the moment and similar to what is invested in the US, but without the insurance companies taking their cuts).That is why the public expenditure on healthcare is unrestrained because I do want physicians to be paid properly.
When it deals with health care, no expenditure is excessive.
