> You can't provide that level of service with NHS-type funding.
The crisis with the NHS is not only a mismanagement crisis but also a funding crisis so I think they'd agree. Happily, healthcare funding could be increased to more normal levels (in comparison to other well functioning public healthcare systems as a share of GDP) and still be well short of the high costs of the US. The UK government just prefers austerity over properly functioning healthcare.
