For me, one of the best things about having decent state healthcare is that it introduces true competition (both in terms of price and quality) within the private healthcare market. While you would be paying twice to have private healthcare, as your taxes are already covering state healthcare, I still much prefer this system. However, it does not stop the drugs companies from overcharging both the state and private healthcare providers.
