There are insurancies that cover more (or more expensive) therapies, etc. If wanted, I can explain it in more detail.
This is a "standard solution" that can be found in quite a number of different parts - some level of treatment/living/whatever is guaranteed (and, normally, really achieved equally for everybody). Above this point you have to pay for yourself.

Hey Tirsales! Where've you been so long? Missed you!!
What you are saying sends chills of horror up my spine. Because my inborn lack of trust in too much bureaurocracy (spell it however you wish, I'm not looking it up) screams: Right - and then the govt covers fewer services, so more people go to private insurance, which saves the govt money, which encourages them to encourage fewer services in a downward spiral. It is a visceral reaction that I had no control over, but instantly felt threatened when I read that. Strange, never really paid attention to that until now.
