Drugs aren't considered healthcare for whatever reason. If I got an ADHD pill in a hospital that's free, but if I wanted to get the same at an outpatient pharmacy it'll cost money in most cases.

Ditto for dental.

So while there isn't any overlap between public and private, there's still a gap. Though our drugs cost 10% of American prices.
