Universal healthcare is bankrupting the UK government, and still costs people more in taxation. Nurses don't even get payed a living wage.
Honestly it needs reform and its not the best fit solution for 21st century.
It is still working decently fine in other European countries though. (Of course all healthcare systems across the developed world are under increasing pressure due to the aging population.)
The reality is that the details and implementation of a healthcare system determine how good it is, not the topline type of system (single- vs multi-payer, one nationalized provider vs multiple private ones, etc.)
The lefties in the US who claim that all the troubles of their healthcare system would be magically fixed if only the country adopted a Canada- or UK-style single-payer system are misguided.
