Seems the NHS got a lot worse, but I never been there (UK hospital, been in the UK many times) so I don’t know. I know brits coming to the south of the eu are surprised how quick it is here (if you know what to do).

Yeah family visiting Romania had to visit a local hospital for an emergency, and was surprised how quick and efficient they were. I suspect a lot of it boils down to population density.

The UK pays less per capital PPP adjusted towards healthcare than most of Europe. The NHS has become atrociously underfunded. I'd still pick it over the US insurance mess any day, and they amazing for low amounts we pay for it, but it does badly need more funding.
