As I'm also an American using Britain's NHS, I was pleasantly surprised to see the article mostly matches up with my experiences using local services (though as others have called out, NHS GPs and Specialists still have regular 15-30 minute delays for pre-scheduled appointments, IME) The only downside I would call out is that I pay slightly higher taxes in the UK than I would in the US, and I imagine that part of it goes to fund NHS programs. That said, the small increase is a relative bargain, given the the excellent level of care provided by NHS staff and the avoidance of insurance nightmares I was used to dealing with back in the states.
