They will remain single-payer but private firms operate to help these initiatives succeed.

Doesn't work. By way of example, feeling sick at 11 at night? Better go to the hospital. There are no private clinics open. Why? Because to entice doctors and nurses to work in the evening or overnight hours you need to pay them higher fees. The government refuses to do that, so no private clinics operate after hours. Want a doctor at home? Sorry, that would require extra fees, which the government won't allow. If you can't make it to a hospital best call an ambulance.

All European countries allow added fees for extra services, for-fee hospitals, clinics, etc. The result is a better system than we have here.
