I used to believe the same but I have employees in London and our offices there employ a couple hundred people. I've initiated a conversation with them on multiple occasions while over the pond and without exception, they love their health care system. I have literally been unable to find one of our employees there that dislikes it.
Now, our employees are younger tech-savvy types so I'm not saying that they are indicative of the entire country but it's the only direct experience I have with their health care system. If I were to assess it, I would say that it's *probably* not as good as our system at handing the uber-expensive end of life care and the odd corner case disease management but the it does seem to work pretty well for the typical health care needs of the UK citizens. Shrug - if they didn't like it they would change it and from what I can tell, their health care system is the third rail of UK politics.
