the model is the CCSS of Costa Rica http://www.ccss.sa.cr/
everyone pays a percentage of gross income and gets medical care and  
a retirement fund,
it's not perfect (corruption gets its toll) but I can tell you first  
hand it works
even many of the super-rich that don't use it, because they have some  
other health insurance, solidarily contribute to it (some private  
practice professionals, mostly lawyers, get not to pay; but that's  
another story)
by American standards this would mean that we are all communists,  
actually we aren't

roads, canals, grids, pipelines, …
