Universal health care is something they have in reasonable (relatively liberal compared to the US) countries like France, Canada and Denmark. It's available to everyone and it's paid for by taxes, the only difference is that it is free at point of access, so no need to worry about having a heart attack while there is no money in the account. In most of Europe there is some degree of free medical care (with Germany having the oldest system still in use, dating back to the 1880s). In Latin America: Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela all got Universal Health Care ahead of the United States.
