I think you're talking about deductibles. But in the truly socialized healthcare system you wouldn't have deductibles anyway because you don't pay out of pocket for anything.

Under the UK system you do pay for some drugs as an outpatient, but we're only talking like £6 (honestly it makes you wonder why they bother). But you never pay for in-house medicine and you don't pay for procedures at all.

I was just arguing against the 'free' bit of the argument. But I agree with you.
