I live in India and our healthcare system is not an 'out-of-pocket' system, for example:
Contraceptives are free
Abortions are free
All medicine is free (the cheap and easy ones to provide, paracetamol, fever meds, flu meds)
All vaccines are free
IUDS are free
Abortions are free
All birth control methods are provided free of cost
Hospitals also serve patients for free (In reality, there's usually no capacity and you can bribe the officials to get priority treatment but this is mostly a problem in overcrowded cities, not in the rural areas where most of us live, but your video is still great!
Edit: this video doesn't answer the question
The answer is: the French healthcare system is the best

Why do you say that private organizations are the one providing the health care in Canada? With the caviat it might be different in each province, most hospitals here in Quebec are completely public, own by and paid by the government. And most health care providers are employees of the public system. Even though the doctors are technically self-employed and charge their fees to the government for the service they provide, that barely count as private organizations. They have to negociate with the government as any union to establish those fees and quotas.

In America even with Insurance people still don't go to the hospital because it still costs too much.
So many people who technically have access to healthcare, but in practice do not.
The most popular and successful program seems to follow the beveridge such as Medicare. However in recent years there's been massive cuts to medicare and VA. People who are not aware are misinformed to believe it's because the model doesn't work rather than the cuts to it's funding and support.

The healthcare systems with the lowest costs and highest quality of care are free market systems where patients pay out if their own pocket and 3rd party payment is banned. Since this cuts costs by 85% or more, it's easy to raise private charitable funds to help the poor get the care they need or for doctors to perform a limited amount if services for free.

our health care system is broken.
FACTS. In the United States (one of the wealthiest nations on earth) we have people rationing their life saving medication so they can afford to eat. The amount of people in the US that die every year from not being able to afford Healthcare is incalculable.

As a nurse, I'm always wary of explanations of the US' healthcare systems, but this is spot on. The rest of the world enjoys piece of mind, while those in the US debate the cost of an ambulance transport during a possible MI. #DFTBA

Another interesting metric would be something resembling QALYs (Quality Adjusted Life Year, which not only considers lifespan, used in health economics. What model can maximize QALYs in a certain population?

India has a multi-payer universal health care model that is paid for by a combination of public and private health insurance funds along with the element of almost entirely tax-funded public hospitals. - Wikipedia

People always say that Germans don't have humour,
but we have.
It's just like healthcare.
Most Americans don't get it.
