The NHS is one of the most beloved institutions on the planet AFAICT.
Of course everyone would prefer if everything were better all the time, but complaints about the US system and clearly not on the same plane as those about UK’s.
Wow, the last few years are a shocking drop. In 2010, 70% reported "very or quite satisfied" and 18% "very or quite dissatisfied." 2010 - 2020 seemed to hover around 60-65% "very satisfied."
Unless you're reading news items about no ambulances or beds, being left on trollies in corridors, waiting lists for procedures lack of available GP appointments. Before covid not as a result.
I have experience in Germany and the US. I don’t think there is much difference in these aspects. As far as GP appointments go, here in new Mexico the wait time is measured in months and years.
