You can provide care to everyone - so no one goes bankrupt - and still have private insurance/private hospitals. Some of these systems are also highly decentralized, like Switzerland.

In Switzerland, residents are required to purchase insurance from private nonprofit insurers
In Singapore, there& #39;s a public insurance system for large bills but patients pay premiums, deductibles, etc
In the UK/NZ, there& #39;s a publicly-funded system PLUS private insurance/hospitals
