It's funny when people always point out higher taxes in countries with socialised health care, like the U.S doesn't have to pay for it or something.

Whether it's a tax or an upfront payment, you're paying money for your healthcare - socialised is a much fairer and safer system.

I don't know about erratic delivery of garunteed services? Do you mean long waiting lists for elective surgeries? In Australia we have a part private (U.S system) and part public health insurance (like canada or UK system) so if you have the money you can go private and get your surgery, just like in the U.S you need the cash to get your surgery, only difference is here in Aus we can fall back on our public health insurance during tough times.
