Good point roman and that is exactly why I do not believe in socialized medicine. Universal healthcare with required health insurance is different .
In all countries where health care is completely free at the point of consumption, demand rises. This is not surprising. Why would one not go to the doctor for a cold when it costs nothing? Yet while this is not surprising, it is very damaging. The high demand for unnecessary care creates shortages, ending in long lines and waiting lists at the doctor’s office. It also diverts resources, as the hordes of free-riding patients rushing in with their trivial afflictions end up creating the need for doctors to address the trivial, at the expense of those few with real needs.

So I believe we need a complete overhaul with a universal required healthcare insurance requirement with help for those that cannot afford it and tax incentives for businesses that provide it.
