This may be a scheme to be considered other than universal healthcare and new taxes.
This is a privatization of a state sponsored healthcare plan.
Point is: No one receives healthcare for "free" anywhere -- people get paid to work in healthcare fields.

The Australian System is very good, even Trump said it was better than American.
What's left out when they compare country to country healthcare is that here in Aus 60% of those over 18 also have medical insurance. Here we pay 1.5% of personal earnings and if you have insurance those fees are deductible from that 1.5%, so say your earning 100k a year, that's $1500 in medicare tax you can claim against insurance costs.
When they compare country to country healthcare, they just base the Australian on the free government care, which is not an overall view of the countries healthcare as a whole... 60% top that up with insurance.
