UK hospitals have been excellent in my experience, though I've obviously only seen some of them.

Plus, although our system is very different from America in theory, our government has, for decades (especially under the Conservative Party), been undermining the NHS through cuts, market-based policy decisions and creeping attempts at privatisation.

If the NHS was supported the way it deserves to be, it would be even better than it already is.

NHS underfunding is notorious. Not sure how situation has developed but I have seen quite some hospitals in the UK until 2016… Cannot really imagine it developed to the better. All the worst compared to continental Europe. And the few ones I saw in the US where excellent too. Of course some are exceptional in the UK. Not sure how situation has changed since 2016 though.

Fair points. And, of course, I've never been in a US hospital, so they may be like Xanadu in comparison :-)
