"We already have (and often use) many expensive tests,"

Actually, I can see one benefit of socialized medicine that would reduce costs in one area. Since suing the government is generally not fruitful the costs of jackpot justice inspired malpractice suits would go away. That would produce a huge one time cost structure reduction.

Right now many unnecessary tests are ordered purely for defensive reasons in case of litigation.
