Sounds nice from the offer... but take a look at the taxes for countries which do provide this service.

This is beside the point. The overall expenditure on health care per capita comes from the population of a country, regardless of whether it is collected through taxes or directly from the people.

Another side effect would be hospitals and doctors offices even more busy then now. No longer will you be waiting an hour... expect three hours.

This is little more than FUD. Even without making an appointment, and while walking in to a very busy University medical centre, I have rarely waited even an hour to see a Dr., and certainly never anywhere close to three hours.
