There are medical company systems in the US that operate similarly to a nationalized system (insurer and provider bundled, I’m not mentioning the name) and have similar downsides - cancer care or any advanced care is sub-par and mental health is hard to impossible to get. The funding to physicians within is distributed on political instead of performance grounds so best ones leave. I’ve lost several friends who used that insurance.

In Bulgaria where I have many friends and family, the system has always been nationalized, barely funded by the government. I don’t know a single Cancer survivor there.
