However, I don't think that would ever happen. Any implementation of a private system will be a decision inspired by money. Either folks thinking they will save money, or folks thinking that they will make money. My own assumption is only the latter will be true.

I agree. A well-funded, well-oiled public healthcare system that everyone can access and have quality service and everyone pays in. Private is simply a top-up for those looking for expidited service or funded by the public system in cases where there is a (temporary) shortage of quality public care.
There should be absolutely no reason to use a private system. At least in an ideal world.
