Can also confirm. The NHS is awesome. I am repeatedly appalled that America can’t get itself together to provide universal health care and low-cost higher and secondary education unlike other industrial/post-industrial countries.https://twitter.com/joonian/status/1019550638886281217 …
I know. But let’s compare it to America where we all avoid basic care because we don’t want a $10K bill in 3 mos even if we have insurance.

Honestly don't compare, anything like that flatters the US. The pro NHS nuts in the UK always use the US as a comparison which is ridiculous. There's literally half a dozen better systems in Europe, but we can't have a rational discussion because it always comes back to the US

Mostly the systems in Europe are not intrinsically better (they’re often almost identical) it’s just that their governments don’t chronically underfund them for decades. Makes a huge difference.
