This issue is viewed differently in different countries. In Czech Republic, for example, Article 31 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Basic Freedoms, which is part of the Czech Constitution, says that "Everyone has the right to the protection of their health. Citizens shall have the right, on the basis of public insurance, to free medical care and to medical aids under conditions provided for by law." But I think it should be noted that this is, more or less, only a theoretical issue. In practice, the Czech health care system is not too different from the U.S. one. In spite of stating that the free medical care is a right, and a fundamental right, of every citizen of the Czech Republic, the wording of the provision allows the lawmakers to adopt laws that limit the extent of the free care. Just like in the US, everyone here has the access to health care and nobody is deprived of it, but those with insurance definitely have a better position, obviously.
Pedro Martínez: Everyone has the option of joining a private health scheme here if they want. The difference being is that the firms cover the whole country. So, there is more competition within the firms, and they can offer the same services throughout the UK.
