I'd suggest the NHS would qualify - e.g. their approach to co-payments.

"Many other patients have suffered as a result of the NHS not allowing co-payments – this being where a patient seeks to pay privately for a drug which is not funded by the NHS, whilst continuing to receive the basic NHS package of care.
But this is not allowed: if patients want to top up their care, Government policy means the NHS withdraws all free treatment."
