I'd disagree. Both systems need a bit of work without a healer. Potions and use magic device with wands serve as a cleric in 3.5e. The major change was wealth to balance this. Which seems to be what no leader parties in 4e need as well.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread my group did this a few times in 3.5e. It's not the optimal, but it isnt in 4e either.
It's not optimal in 4e, but nor is being without a defender, striker, or controller.
My group is still chugging along just fine (about to hit 12th) without a Leader.
