I'm not saying restrict services to non-citizens, I'm saying do not have the government pay for those services for non-citizens. If you pay a private company for health insurance then you should be covered by that insurance for the things that the government won't cover.

This is one easy way that the government could cut health related costs.

But I am paying for these services, with 15% of my salary. Why should I have to additionally also pay for private insurance?

No, the Government of the place you are living is taking 15% of money out from your salary to pay for the services that it provides to both citizens and residents. It does not have to divide equally between the two groups.
