Switzerland has the best healthcare system in the world. They require compulsory private healthcare insurance with options of adding on additional care needs - and their care is excellent and, apparently, is very cost effective.
I'm no expert here and, the only reason I know about this at all is because of Chris' Aunt who lives in Switzerland. She got to recuperate at a spa for 6 weeks after hip-replacement surgery.
Long article here if you are interested.
I think we spend waaaaayyyyy too much time on arguing against socailized medicine and not enough time looking for ways to fix our VERY broken healthcare system.
