The doctor who killed himself was an Australian man living and working in Australia. Australia has public, universal healthcare.

Not exactly. The Australian system is mixed public/private and many physicians work at for-profit organizations. While Australia does have some level of universal coverage it's a two-tier system where people who can afford it pay for private insurance to obtain better care.
