> If the public system would be so bad as you describe it everyone would use the private ones but very few do. Ah, that's simply wrong, because you pay for public healthcare anyways (through taxes), hence private one is to be paid twice. I doubt the system is `that bad`, but even in Russia, where private healthcare is super cheap (and very good) and public healthcare is a total disaster, a few people use the private one (until they are wealthy) due to exact same reason: they've already paid for the public one and feel like paying twice is not an option.
