No, I mean available to anyone who is willing & able to pay for it.
Works that way in many, if not all, countries with socialized medicine. As for instance in Britian: you can* either get things 'free' through the NHS or whatever, and endure possible waits, rationing, poorer quality care, &c, or you can pay to go private.
*Or could, about 15 years ago. Don't really know what it's like today.

Which merely demonstrates that they are socialists. As I said, economic philosophy :-)
