Private health care in Europe.

The cost of public health care is staggering and the quality is abysmal. If you can afford it, if you have something serious and you don't want to wait for ages or get poor equipment or lack of testing, you'll go private even in Europe.

I'd say private health care in the states is very successful as well (high quality and research) but the prices are ridiculously inflated because of government / insurances.
