If you want universal access, even the most frictionless and efficient markets can't give it to you.
That is probably one of the moving parts to healthcare. I tend to agree with you, and so I would classify "markets" as another friction. They are getting in the way of the objective (from my view...others have different objectives like bonuses and shareholder reports). Their goal/function is different than the goal many of us would have, and that is to get everyone decent healthcare. The wealthier people will always get more than "decent", and that's OK. If we elevate the floor to "everyone" and "decent", we've made a huge stride.
