As for the NHS the mother of a friend died due to negligence while being transported home. So it's not all good, which is why the system cannot be judged this way.
Of course no system is perfect and their are a number of hospitals in 'special measures' which means their management is replaced and they are in turnaround. I'm very sorry to hear about your friends mother. I assume it triggered a full investigation?
As someone who has sxperienced the US and Canadian healthcare systems, I can confidently say most Americans would be deeply unsatisfied with aspects of the Canadian system. Yet Canadians love their system.
The waiting times for certain procedures in Canada, the lack of provider choice and the lack of access to the latest drugs/tech are just accepted in Canada. One reason why the US system is so expensive is the expectation of a lot of Americans that they get the absolute best healthcare out there, costs be damned
And yes, I'm generalizng with the comments. No need to call that out.
The post basically says, "Wow, we got medical care and didn't have to pay for it!" Everyone already knows that Britons pay for health care out of their taxes and not at the time of service, so it doesn't really bring anything to the table, and certainly doesn't make a case for or against one system or the other.
