This is an example of a transition from a public to a mixed healthcare system model. In Wxyzab, the entire population has access to healthcare facilities owned and operated by the government, funded by a tax on citizens. However, the current healthcare infrastructure does not have technologically advanced radiologic imaging facilities.

So, the government allows a commercial organization to operate its own diagnostic imaging facilities, where patients have to pay for services out-of-pocket.
