>Public spending on healthcare is actually higher in the United States (8.3% of GDP in 2014) than it is in the United Kingdom (7.0%).

>private spending on healthcare accounts for a further 8.9% of GDP in the USA, but only an additional 1.4% in the UK.
>this extra money allows Americans from across the income distribution to enjoy better access to medical specialists, high-tech surgery, and cutting-edge drug therapies
> mortality rates following comparable events in the U.S. are often a fraction of what they are in the U.K
>While the NHS in England and Wales provides care through 200 hospitals, America’s public Medicare program entitles its enrollees to receive care at their choice of 4,700 hospitals – around 4 times as many per capita.

NHS is a fucking nightmare:

>An analysis that covered just half of England's hospitals found that almost 30,000 patients died in the past year while waiting for treatment
>Patients in British hospitals are four times more likely to die than in U.S. hospitals, according to an analysis of outcomes from 2,000 similar surgeries conducted by researchers from University College London and Columbia University in New York. Among the more severely ill patients, the disparity was worse; the sickest Brits were seven times more likely to die.
Horrible wait times, shortages everywhere, severely understaffed due to shitty pay and stressful work conditions, etc
And you can only imagine what is going to happen after Brexit.
