Most likely a government run health care system is less efficient than a private insurance but....
A universal health care system requires only one managment, while multible small private insurances all require seperate managments. Additionaly, private insurances have to invest heavily into advertisment. These are extra managent and advertisment costs that fall away with universal healthcare.
And I think the situation in Switzerland proves me right, here healthcare is run more or less private, and like the US our healthcosts rank in the upper league.
