Universal Health Care

Comes in different forms, but shares the basic idea:

The government uses taxpayer money to ensure that every citizen has access to medical care. In this way no citizen can be denied coverage, because of lack of money.

Universal health care forms a large expense for governments. 

All wealthy industrialized nations have universal health care. No need to add these countries include the UK.

Be aware: The U.S. has no universal health care. It is the the only wealthy, industrialized nation without it.
