The NHS is bad by design. You can't convert a great system to whatever the shit is in the US that makes. Avery select few people very rich. You first need to break it down by pulling money out of it, pull more money out of it, more still, then when it starts breaking down, complain about how badly it works and propose this wonderful new system that will fix all of that! Privatize everything and then move to whatever shit they have in the US and get rich

I mean, look at how great privatizing the rail system has worked out in the UK!

Our railways are fucked, our healthcare system is hanging by a thread. I'm so grateful for NHS care and investigations in the last year - dread to think how much Americans would have to pay to find out they have a shitty disease, let alone treat it.

Or… anywhere else. Privatization of public transport or postal services is such a good idea.
