Having grown up in Australia and lived my adult life in the UK and Switzerland, it is hard to argue with the result. The level of care in CH is outstanding, even at the basic level. The NHS is very good when it's good (eg. IMO emergency care), but can be equally chaotic and disorganised at times (often the "less important" community level care). Waiting times can be a problem. I also had a great experience with the healthcare in Australia while growing up, but I was lucky enough that my family could afford good private insurance that could fill in the gaps. I can't speak for what it's like now though, haven't lived there for over a decade. Overall probably a fair article.

Emergency care is good everywhere, because the establishment uses it. They don't use the rest of the healthcare system, therefore there is a little incentive to fix it.
