I think you are simplifying too much, for sure you need innovation and the best way to achieve that is the private market. But inventing new drugs and treatments isn't the only goal, there is also the part of the industry that delivers that service in the real world.
It's not like the guy who writes you a Viagra prescription at your local clinic then drives off to a lab somewhere in the evening and slaves trying to find a cure for cancer. Same industry, different jobs, different field altogether.
And that's the part the government can play a role in.
