The Swiss system isn't quite lassiez-faire capitalist:

> "The Swiss government... does keep down overall spending by regulating drug prices and fees for lab tests and medical devices

> Swiss insurance companies [must] offer the mandatory basic plan on a not-for-profit basis, although they are permitted to earn a profit on supplemental plans.

It does seem like a promising approach that's (largely) market-driven.
