I suppose, careful what you wish for. The NHS (UK's single payer health provider), allegedly the envy of whole wide world, is failing under the burden of insufficient funding, aging society and years of mismanagement by politicians. We're talking, properly dysfunctional, like ambulances taking hours to be dispatched to life-threatening emergencies or people dying on emergency wards due to neglect.

The NHS was properly sabotaged by the Tories, exactly because they wanted to privatise it. Starving the NHS has been per design, no accident there.

Same for Canadian healthcare.
