It would help if you could say which healthcare system you're talking about, because what you say bears no resemblance to the English NHS. I'm not sure why you mention the UK system because you don't appear to know anything about it.

And that's one of the really confusing things about people who criticise the NHS: there are plenty of things that are real problems and that we're trying to fix, but these aren't the things they talk about.

> Universal healthcare definitely helps pharma and medical companies (they can overprice a lot, just like with any other governmental project). Lobby?

This point in particular is incoherent. Universal healthcare always has cheaper medication pricing than eg the US. The prices are open and available. Pick a med and compare.

In the Czech Republic and most other universal healthcare systems you need to separate pharmaceutics sold to patients directly (prescription or over the counter) and pharmaceutics sold in bulk to (governmental) medical facilities, I meant the latter. These are considered two different fields of business here.
