Do you have any actual examples of people complaining that they were misled and would have voted differently if this particular issue (NHS) had been clarified for them?
Personally I have not seen any examples. I've just seen sore losers on the Remain side latching onto this one vague campaign poster and declaring that the people (other people, obviously) were fooled and the result is therefore, in some way, illegitimate.
It's quite possible that the entire referendum campaign period was basically irrelevant. People have been discussing and forming opinions about EU membership for years. It's not like evaluating a new electoral candidate.

The unemployed father of two who is married to an Irish wife watched the crash of the country's currency, the pound, with increasing worries on Friday.

"Nigel Farage betrayed us," said Kerin.
