Some countries with public health care disallows private medicine practice. Where I live health care is neither the worst nor the best in the world. If you're dying then you'll be taken cared of with low out of pocket expenses (mostly drugs). On the other hand if what you have isn't life-or-death, it can take months or years before it'll be taken of.
More recently, they started allowing private practice but there are rules for how much time a doctor can work vs in the public system. Tbh I'm not sure I how stand on it, it's a complex problem with many variables. The only thing I'm sure of is your wealth shouldn't affect your chance of living or dying, and for that we're better off with a public system. Should a private system also exist in parallel? Time will tell I guess.
