I'm pretty certain that's the kinda system the UK will adopt, already phasing in top-up treatments.

Affording insurance isn't the problem for a lot of people, it's getting the insurance. Like you said it's gambling and insurance companies don't want to gamble with older people or those with existing conditions. So many, I'm one, have no health care because privately held corporations have to watch bottom lines.
No executive bonuses if you pay out to many claims.
