With respect to healthcare? Switzerland, for example. Very similar to ACA, actually, with mandatory but private insurance, and significant premiums. Government spending as proportion of GDP is actually lower than in US! But they've got better price controls, and that makes all the difference.

But, really, most countries are hybrid in that regard. It's very rare to see a healthcare system that's completely run by the government, with no market elements at all.



Thanks! I'll research that more.
