The thing is, when you (as a tax payer) don't have to spend your thousand dollars (in taxes) for public healthcare and "free" higher education, plus all the cost of political procedures that make it happen (it's a lot of money), you earn much more money in general and can afford private healthcare, which gets cheaper, because it's a competetive market, because when you have multiple alternatives and you can always choose a cheaper one and then the other one has to change approach if they want to stay in business.
That's never the case in public healthcare. Because it will exist forever as long as the politicians decide to, no matter how petty, pathetic it is.
