It's called research - and each country will differ.

The basic criteria probably relates to:

(a) Accessibility to healthcare for everyone.
(b) No direct cost
(c) Pre-existing conditions do not matter
(d) Less formality and paperwork - there is no paperwork under universal healthcare - just name/ID/next of kin etc
(e) Ease at which preventative medical reveues are available - if there is no cost - why not have regular reveues. This obviously cuts down costs in the longer term.

The actual medical care - ie the actions of medical staff, is probably little different between the US and elsewhere.
