>>1982532I'm not actually sure what point you're trying to make here. But there's different ways of delivering health care, many of which mix private and public delivery systems. For instance in Canada basic care is provided without requiring payment at point of service, but in many cases you can pay or use insurance to upgrade in certain circumstances (paying to have a dedicated room instead of sleeping in a ward, for instance). Other types of medical care are private but subsidized for the poor (pharmaceuticals, dental) and some is largely private (in-house visits, rehabilitative care). Other countries leave more aspects of health care to the market or include it in a single payer system funded by taxes. All of these systems are the results of political deals and compromises made within those specific countries where representatives of the people arrived at a common solution
