UK but live in the US now - simply because to them this is always how it has been.
The UK cried and moaned when the NHS was introduced but now (aside from Conservative efforts to "starve the beast" on it) most wouldn't go back for the world (though it could be improved, obviously).
The US has a mentality that it's the best in the world for everything. Even when it's objectively not true (like in healthcare) this colors the debate.
