Ditto Australia, hybrid public / private healthcare ...

* private is good for better rooms, more scenic views, personalised spa like service and near immediate access to non life essential procedures

* public keeps the majority of people alive and triages procedures, you can get overnight heart stent surgery for free if required, might have to wait a few months for non critical knee surgery.
