I think you've just described the national health service. As a citizen of the country you pay taxes throughout your working life and the health care from the NHS is free at the point of delivery. It's a membership.

Exactly, healthy citizens pay into coffers so more can remain healthy and keep society functioning. I don't know how Americans can be so deluded that you should inject profiteering into healthcare.
