A trap of National Health Service

In post war Japan, huge fund was pooled by national all insurance system. All citizens were supposed to pay premium and take part in a national health care system.

Some were used in building unnecessary resort facilities. Almost all were not functioned well and sold to private sector in incredibly cheap prices or just abandoned.

Some were used in investment. Some disappeared in itself.

Huge fund were pooled to be used either in expensive medical expenses or annuity, but annuity is believed to be no paid fully.

Private enterprises may be able to be kicked out of the market, but the failure of one nation cannot be replaceable. The bigger the amount of fund, the bigger the scale of failure in case it failed.

Let alone the fund of US is much bigger than that of a small country in the Far East.
