My SO worked in the NHS previously and is currently working in the German system. Either system has their faults, but the German system of public-regulated private health care offerings far outweighs the NHS experience. Plus, it is much better for her iho, since her departments don't have to deal with some nonsensical cuts because of some bullshit political maneuvering. Personally it has been a lot healthy for her and for us, since she isn't as overworked and underpaid (as much) as before.
