In the UK, private medicine is not outlawed. You just have to pay for it after paying for the NHS.
Very true for the UK.
I was intending to reference one of the Obamacare proposals in the US from back in ~2010. It would have "permitted" private medicine only in certain cases, with union and federal employees conspicuously exempted.
I'll need to blame it on a small phone, old, fat fingers and a lack of patience at the time.
