Another point is that universal healthcare creates a free (or close to) baseline that private healthcare has to compete with.

If there's a free (or close to) option, the paid option has to be better to win people over to it. This can make overall healthcare better.

On the other hand, if there's no universal healthcare the private healthcare can simple be as bad as it wants. This can mean that overall healthcare is worse.

I think even if you aren't using the universal healthcare, your care is improved just by it being there.
