Actually... most European healthcare systems are privately run, publicly regulated facilities, with public facilities mixed in. Essentially, a nice blend of the US and Canadian systems.
There are the pure public systems in Europe that work, but they tend to be in small, homogenous, scandinavian countries, not experiencing much in growth, and have far fewer free riders.
According to a UN Study I read, Canada is ranked 31 in healthcare delivery. The US was pretty close behind at something like 34. I don't remember who was top, but still... nothing to be proud of.
