In Oz, we have public hospitals, but also have private health insurance companies. The previous govt brought in a tax incentive for people earning over a certain amount - either get private health insurance or we'll up your income tax. I have insurance for me personally, but have it configured so I'd never use it in hospital - I set it up so I can access dental and other ancillaries. If I'm sick, though, I'll just go to hospital, and this is what my family will do too.
