In the UK, healthcare free at the point of service is considered a basic right, and the thought of having anything other than a state-funded healthcare system paid for through taxes would be utterly beyond the pale for the vast majority of voters. If anyone, on the left or the right, publicly advocated for an insurance-based system, it would be the end of their career. But while the US is the only developed country without universal health coverage, plenty of European countries like Germany and Switzerland require you to pay for your healthcare through mandatory insurance payments (the 'Bismarck model'), with the advantage supposedly being that waiting lists are much shorter under such a system, albeit at considerable personal expense.
I'm just curious if a transition towards an entirely tax-funded system like what the UK has (the 'Beveridge model') is something that's debated in your country and whether a significant proportion of the population is in favour of it?
