I think you need to recheck your facts here. Many of the countries with
socialized medicine are currently working on revising it as it has failed
in many ways. I don't have a list of all the countries currently working
on changing, but you can look at one that already has.
A couple of years ago Netherlands privatized their health care system and
from all reports it has been a great success. It is not a pure private
system, it has some strict regulations, but it is definitely not
socialized.
After a quick google, here are a couple references.
