The conservatives (Tories) in the UK have always been trying to privatise the health service while saying there not...SO..........................the UK is adopting the US healthcare system because..............it's so pristine?
More it get privatised the worse it gets. NHS is very good system generally... If you get really concerned there is always a reasonable private option available, in Ireland traveling over and going private in UK is world class. Ireland might not have the exact specialist due to size but UK will for reasonable money (£250 for a 2 hour top end consultant visit) will not only treat you but will follow up with you GP back in Ireland...
British people time and time again have defended the NHS and no politician seriously suggests changing it private... If you want to never get voted, just say I want a Health Service just like US... You would get more votes by getting the drug dealer to move next door..
