Who touted the NHS as the best in the world? UK's own politicians? The same guys who under-fund the NHS year on year? The same guys who are trying sabotaging it so they can privatise it?

The NHS is a great institution but the UK government seem hell bent on destroying it while passifying their voters with misleading soundbites about their investment in it.

Seems slightly surprising to me - I would have assumed it would be France or one of the other EU countries.

Edit: I'm a supporter of the NHS but it has been chronically underfunded and had too many management consultants trying to "improve" it over the years.
