Private health care

Pros is profit for insurance companies

Cons is worse healthcare for everyone else

People are more motivated to do a fantastic job in healthcare with a high profit motive, which can only be achieved in a private practice.

Cons are that you have to either pay a shitton of money or get insurance (a smaller shitton)

Productive and motivated workers, efficient systems = lower cost for the same quality.

It's true it doesn't do any redistribution but that's not a role for healthcare

US is not a good example because the government interferes at every level

On the micro level these behaviors produce higher quality, more efficient services - but in the massive system of healthcare provision it really falls apart in practice.

The inefficiencies of US healthcare are due to the constant stream of provisions and regulation bending by the providers and private interests. The result is a climate in which price gouging is the expectation and that running lean is less profitable than amassing size and lobbying clout.

On paper public healthcare is significantly more efficient in terms of cost per patient and quality of care.

Not if your country mandates it so that you have to have 'private' healthcare
