Good point. Expanding on that, what they want is "single payer" or

Universal health care can be implemented in several ways, single
payer is not the only way. Perhaps you could say "this never works"
to all of the countries that have UHC? They'd laugh and declare you
nuts. But I guess everyone's out of step but you.

In many cases "it works" because the people don't know or expect any better.
For example, in the UK they don't expect anesthetics for tooth extractions.
