In both Japan and Germany, health care is mandated by the government but paid for by the employer. See e.g. http://www.nchc.org/facts/Japan.pdf

Thanks for the link. I read the one on Germany as well.

It seems more like a combination of employer and employee payment with the governments being involved as a single payer system - in the case of Germany.
