It's not just their health system that's different; so is both their culture and their Social Security system.
The danger here is that whether you have co charging or not the issue of rising costs due to ageing population, new treatments etc etc the overall cost stays the same. Whether we like it or not the UK has a longstanding model of 'free at the point of need'. An awful lot of money can be pee'd up against the wall reorganising that to no real gain.
Start with what we've got and make it work.
