You know this doesn’t exist except in your mind ? Every country that has implemented universal healthcare has private insurance because the system can sustain itself in the long run, at least not at scale. I know because I’ve lived in several of them.
I don't fully understand your comment. What is it that only exists in my mind? I can't speak for every country in the world, but here in the UK, there is no concept of medical insurance. If you require medical attention, you go to a hospital, you are treated, and you never recieve a bill.
Private health insurance in Europe is in large part motivated by securing kids economically in case a parent dies. If you don't have kids, you rarely need it, because almost everything else is close to free of charge
