> I know British people love the NHS but I don't think the US should copy it given its bad outcomes keep in mind that for the vast majority of Americans the bad outcomes of the NHS would still be a massive improvement from what they have now which is basically no care at all. I know people who are solidly middle class but are putting off needed healthcare because of costs that wouldn't be any issue whatsoever if they were UK citizens and for lower income US families there's no NHS waiting list as long as "You will never be able to afford what you need" I agree that, if we were to look to implement some version of the NHS here, we should learn from their mistakes and shortcomings, but if we took it "as is" today it'd still be a net win for Americans.
