The NHS is one of the most beloved institutions on the planet AFAICT.
Of course everyone would prefer if everything were better all the time, but complaints about the US system and clearly not on the same plane as those about UK’s.

- AvocadoPanic 3y agoUnless you're reading news items about no ambulances or beds, being left on trollies in corridors, waiting lists for procedures lack of available GP appointments. Before covid not as a result.
- smileysteve 3y agoJust anecdotally, all of these things happened to multiple family members last year, in the US, in a major metro area. It was sad when we had to use personal connections to get grandma a meal and room after 12 hours in the corridor.
