>I don't know of any socialized medical systems that cover 100% of the costs associated with injuries like this. For example he may need to get his house modified/renovated to better accommodate a wheelchair, install a stair lift etc. Does the NHS cover all such costs in the UK?

In the Netherlands it will be covered for pretty much 100%. But in the netherlands its not a socialised healthcare anyways. Its a well regulated mixed between socialised and private healthcase insurance.
