I really pity anyone living in one of those backwards countries without socialised healthcare systems. It's utterly inhuman, completely wrong, and totally unworkable to have a system which most harms those in greatest need of help.
Anyone who advocates privatised healthcare systems anywhere in the civilised world needs to be shot. I'm deadly serous.
I've always had treatment available on the spot to me, anywhere in the country, and this is paid for by a MINISCULE amount of the taxes I pay. Not only that but it has been available to me irrespective of my financial situation at the time. My medication is all provided to me by the state, my surgery when it has been needed was carried out promptly and at no cost, and best of all I know this standard of healthcare is available to EVERYONE in this country because of my taxes, just as I am guaranteed it when I am unemployed/etc. because of theirs.
