Perhaps one might consider a different perspective;

in about 2011 there was an election in here. One side advocated
introducing a variation of Obamacare her, and they 'won' the election,
so before introducing the new system (which I understand is paying
insurance companies to cover everyone), the department did a simulation 
of its effects. its conclusion was that it was not affordable. 

AFAIK, a similiar system has been introduced in Netherlands, which
helped with waiting lists, but has driven costs up a lot.

I know that veterniary costs here have risen a lot since many people
have taken out insurance for small animals.

Go into any garage here to get some repair done. The man you are dealing
with will ask you if this work will be paid through insurance, and if
you say 'Yes', your bill will be far higher.
