It's easiest if you sort by decreasing coverage, then look at all the 100% coverage countries, which tend to be developed.
To summarize though, aside from single payer, mandatory public-private hybrid and private are also used.
And you should look into the numbers before making absolute statements.
The facts, in contrast to how you stated it:
- The US spends more per capita on healthcare than many (all?) other countries
- Of that, an average amount is out of pocket (relative to developed country peers)
- The US has some poor metrics, particularly in maternal mortality and lifestyle diseases, but is average on others (relative to developed country peers)
- Because of EMTALA [0], all Americans within range of a hospital (that accepts Medicaid) have access to emergency care, whether or not they're insured. The primary problem with access is the scarcity of rural doctors, especially generalists (an AMA/federal-government problem because of limits put in place in the 80s)
