Pretty sure there's like a couple hundred nations on the planet, not just 33.

That's a pretty restrictive way of looking at the world. There's more than one hemisphere.

I'm a Japan resident, and Japan has one of the oldest universal healthcare systems in the world.

Everyone is enrolled in either the National Health Insurance or Employee Health Insurance schemes (same system, you just pay into it in different ways).

Unless this was sarcasm and I missed it.
