Yeah, this is what I would've expected (hence the devil's advocate qualifier), which is why I think our life expectancy has other causal factors.

Although, one thing to note is the the government does invest in private hospitals as well, so that 79% figure won't be exclusively public healthcare. This is due to public-private-partnerships whereby a single site will accommodate both a public and private hospital with the entire project being funded by a combination of public and private funds, usually with an extremely favourable arrangement for the private side.
