I guess like if you own a home you are paying school taxes, but you can still choose a private school.
In my town when you reach retirement age you longer pay school taxes, with the realization that you're not going to be using them.

Though in essence, paying for a good school system means your house is going to be worth more if/when you sell it. I'm not sure the same can be said about paying into a national healthcare system
