The National Wealth Service in the UK is slightly different in that it's government (=tax) funded and, although you can go private, there's very little pressure to do so unless you have private health insurance (which nobody actually needs but a small percentage have as a "perk" of their job).
As I understand it, apart from the tiny allocation of ICU beds, the problem in the UK is that they lay off any nurse for two weeks if they "test positive". Not ill, just "positive". Obviously, very few nurses object to being sent home on full pay. But the hospitals can then close down whole wards since "no staff because of covid".
