Fair enough, I mentioned single payer because that's the system I'm familiar with. The 'adversarial' relationship between insurers, hospitals, and patients is precisely the kind of market competition that theoretically leads to the best outcome though. GP's ask was simply about examples where regulation leads to more efficiency, it sounds like bismarck and single payer are both more regulated and more efficient (again, from the patient's perspective).
