I’m particularly fond of the Australian system. It’s a mix of state and private care and, largely, it works.
There is universal provision through Medicare. If you earn above a certain amount you then pay a Medicare supplement or have health insurance.
If you have health insurance, that is tax deductible because you are not making a claim upon the state.
