I would also like to see how well it's funded. For example, the UK has a good healthcare system, but can you sustain the same level for the long haul, or are you bankrupting your country providing it?

The UK pays more than two times less for healthcare than America does.  If they increased their funding to match Americas, every Brit would have a personal nurse to wipe their a$$ for them.

 

??? I heard the situation in the UK is quite bad when you need a medical intervention ??

 The UK's health care system has rapidly improved over the past few years. Mild operations can usually be done within the 12-48 hours of asking for it, and done to, well, an incredibly high standard. My nan was diagnosed with cancer and she had the tumour out in three days, to give you an idea.

We do, however, have an issue with A&E, I waited for about two hours with a broken arm. Man, that killed. We also have a months-long waiting lists for organs, but I don't see how privatisation can help with that.
