That makes sense - we should find if there are any limits to the existing system after spending is increased to match Western European nations (~11% of GDP [0])

That makes sense - we should find if there are any limits to the existing system after spending is increased to match Western European nations (~11% of GDP [0]). (my gut instinct says that we have hit those limits: if the NHS was a good model, you would expect another country to copy it)
If the healthcare outcomes don't resemble what other systems can provide with the same level of funding, there needs to be a serious discussion as to whether the NHS model is fit for purpose for today.
