As I like to say about England's NHS: It's free but you'll die waiting.

I mean, fifteen years of Tory rule does that. Looks like it'll finally come to an end soon.

The UK has slightly higher life expectancy than the US, at less than half the cost (and yes, that's including taxes; https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm). People die waiting here, too; they're just bankrupt as a bonus.

And the US you'll die homeless. At least if I die waiting on the NHS, I'm at home.
