I think you've missed the point of healthcare in certain countries, I can't exactly speak for Australia, but I'd guess the whole thing was based on the UK model. Sure it's all funded from taxation, but the point is that in the UK, is that it's completely free for every resident, regardless of whether they pay taxes or not. So as far as the general public is concerned it's a free service.
