- Singapore has Medisave, which is mandatory and strictly regulated.

- Insurers in Switzerland are obligated to insure everyone and can't make a profit on the base plan.

- Netherlands has similar requirement for cheap (and subsidized) mandatory insurance plans.

None of those are “socialized” which would be the government running the healthcare system.
