You're presenting a false alternative: socialized medicine or anarchy. What we need is a free market with the government protecting individual rights (including against fraud), along with intelligent consumers.

Also, I suggest you should only trust them to some extent. You need to understand the information well enough to make the decisions, like the mother in the story, where at the end, she treated the doctors as expert technicians, but she knew only she was responsible for the decisions of her life. Even if you have an excellent doctor, your life is your own responsibility.
