It should be mentioned that the UK has it, but it’s been enshittified for the last couple of decades to the point where it’s now pretty much “if you’re lower working class, you just die”
Kinda did. Keith is ostensibly labour, but this governments behaviour has been SHOCKING since taking office and they seemingly are happy to just charge to the right even though they won a historic majority and the tories have almost no political capital right now.
I have to say as an outsider coming in, I can only compare the NHS to the Canadian system. They are very similar from the user interaction perspective, I’m aware under the hood the way things are run is a lot different.
Both my kids were born on the NHS and my experience with it was largely positive. None of that is to say it’s perfect or I don’t see the clear direction from the Tories (and labour honestly, FFS) to defund, break, and sell off the NHS.
Just remember it’s easy to complain.
The Canadian system imo is in perhaps a worse state with better funding and better labour availability. Our system is not anywhere near as modernized and we’ll run as the NHS from a digital systems side and even just like hospital and clinic admin (again this is all just personal anecdotes from one guy who’s lived a lot of time in both systems, please take all of this with a deer bait sized salt lick)
All private-public systems go this route. I hear France is at risk like Spain and Brazil, and I am convinced it’s bad by how hard Premier Smith of Alberta really pushes it.
Italy the same, it’s months-long waits to get a specialist visit, but of course private clinics can give you an appointment next week.
But hey, most national contracts include mandatory health insurance for employers, so you can go through that! Wait, why does that sound familiar…?

And why you don’t follow America’s lead and elect conservatives into office with their terrible ideas and terrible followers.
ETA: Sorry that we infected your political discourse btw. No one deserves a Musk moron talking to their people.

Yeah not just the UK.
