The UK system isn't amazing, unless you're evidently having an "emergency", you can be waiting for hours (once waited for 4 hours with a broken wrist for example) - that being said, the triage is pretty solid and you'll cycle through intermediate steps in the meantime.
I think the best part is not having the mental burden of potentially going bankrupt afterwards...
There are severe problems with the English NHS, but we need to remember that it costs the tax payer a lot less than the US system.
That's the thing I don't understand: they pay more in tax, and they pay more in insurance, and they don't get universal coverage and have worse outcomes across a range of measures.
