> People pay taxes that pay for healthcare for every single citizen. No person is without care.
There's a bit more variation than that. The main things is: "No person is without health care", but how that care is paid for, varies quite a bit.
Netherland, for example, still has privatized health insurance. Care is paid for through that insurance. The big difference is that, contrary to the US, that insurance is regulated and compulsory. Everybody has to have insurance, and insurers have to accept anyone.
What exactly is covered by the insurance also varies somewhat, but generally prolonged hospital stays and expensive life-saving procedures are completely covered. And that's the big thing, because that's what drives people into bankruptcy.
