It's not about government vs. private market, but about whether a society is willing to pay in solidarity with their peers for the less often but expensive and perhaps complicated procedures trough taxation.
Or whether they think that it is better to have a system where those who can afford get the best treatment and pay through their insurance.
IMHO a modern society finds a balance between what to lift collectively and what to make a personal responsibility. Not because it is moral just, but because it is financially a more useful model as long as it is to expensive to run through the private system.
But again, it's not black and white, there are many arguments for and against.
