How does Universal Healthcare affect ambulatory vs acute care? [Discussion]

Hey everyone. Pretty basic question here... those who live in countries that have Universal Healthcare, how does that affect where your patients go? Do you see more of a shift toward outpatient/ambulatory care for personalized care? Or do people tend to go to ED/hospitals for ease of access? And do these systems have specific protocols in place to steer patients toward ambulatory care where the cost is cheaper per capita for the system?
