> and the UK not-for-profit one.

The UK "not-for-profit" system has been systematically underfunded for decades [0], in the yacht-class' hopes that it can be privatized like the American system. Yes, it was once different.

Not that these things don't happen even in well funded systems, but the NHS isn't a great example of "not-for-profit" healthcare.

Its nothing that will fix healthcare or anything like that, but it's been fun learning about things like "Digital Twins", "FHIR" etc... and it actually works; meaning the Agent can help you achieve a desired health outcome (sometimes)
