What countries specifically?


Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria. Even in France and Italy, it seems to be working okay-ish, but I might be wrong on that one.
And of course the healthcare system in the entire Scandinavics is top-tier.

I mean I would also argue the UK health system is working "decently fine". But there are obvious problems. Worker pay, waiting times, recruitment problems (mainly doctors).
Obviously all countries have a unique system, so its probably not accurate to say for example the UK and Germany systems are 1:1 in terms of coverage, cost/delivery.

I think the principle of the UK system is great, but there is no real "competition" as in the private sector. So waste, inefficiency, unnecessary upper level management and probably corruption, are serious drawbacks.

Oh, I totally agree with you on that one. I prefer a system like in continental Europe, with private insurance companies and multiple competing providers, but subject to (hopefully smart and well-calibrated) government regulation.

waiting times in the uk averaged 9 weeks in 1993 before government health care. now its up to 23-26 weeks. its turned into the ussr: everything is free but there are massive shortages. its just a matter of time before the uk sees black market healthcare arise to actually, you know, treat people. canadians are increasingly going across the border for treatment while canadian government health care recommends people just kill themselves more and more.


UK has issues before and even bigger after the Brexit. When i think about JohnSon and his cuck leave bus:

Conservatives self-owning again. (nhs = uk's healthcare insitution).

"Too low"

Funny what happens when you privatize healthcare.

In case you weren't aware, the wait times are directly the result of increasing private ownership of Healthcare in the UK.
