I've always been ambiguous on what type of healthcare system to have since I never researched much into it. I suppose I just had other interests that made me more excited about, I think. I'll be looking forward to your other post.
I prefer two tiered system for the simple reason that while I don't want govt. to dominate our healthcare but from my personal experience I have seen people finding various options of private healthcare too complicating or sometimes not getting around to having a coverage at all due to various personal reasons. So I want an automatic universal fall back option for them aka public option.
Which of these system in general best promotes(or is less of a hinder in) innovation and research? Also which system(in general again ofc) is more adoptive to innovations?
This 2008 PBS Frontline doc "Sick Around the Workd" may be a bit dated (pre-Obamacare) but it's still insightful. American journalist T.R. Reid visits five countries (UK, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, and Switzerland) and personally compares their respective healthcare systems.

The way you describe "managed competition" sounds a lot like what the US already does.
Managed competition is exemplified both in the individual marketplaces established by the affordable care act and the Medicare Advantage program.
In a similar way as Single Payer is exemplified in Medicaid and Medicare.
