a) The Healthcare bill popularly know as Obamacare was passed by a partyline vote ( in fact some Dem congressmen were against it). It was designed to remake Healthcare in the US, it did.
b) Simply stating that the vast majority of Brits are satisfied with the NHS without stating why is misrepresenting it. Yes they are contrasting Healthcare structures that lead to vast differences.
Here are some
1) According to Forbes in 2019 25% of patients in Britian were unable to begin cancer treatment in time, In the USA 97% of patients were alive after a prostate cancer diagnosis while in England it was 83%.
Cataract surgery is pretty common in the US for the elderly in England it’s rationed.
2) Doctors & Nurses have been making way less in England then the US for a while which has led to an increasing nursing and doctor shortage. Again in an article in The Week noted the British Medical Association called the NHS doctor shortage chronic. According to the guardian three quartes of the doctors it surveyed has seen medical care rationed.
d) Size makes a tremendous difference. Smaller countries with natural resources can leverage natural resources to cover a large share of what is automatically a smaller budget i.e a million dollars of revenue from and oil reserve covers 10% of a ten million budget but only 1% of a 100 million dollar budget.
Plus the demographics in a smaller country tend to be more homogeneous then in a large country with a vastly more complicated mix of cultures and traditions complicating National projects.
For example the Public School system in the Lakewood NJ may be perfect for irreligous people but is horrible for religous people the result is an economic strain on a population forced to finance an expensive school system they cannot use. This of course is a much more limited problem in say Denmark where the population is vastly more uniform.
e) You can say that it is not “vastly” more limited, however the your opinion does not change facts. And I was not proving anything from an anecdote, I was demonstrating where the hard facts ran into real life in a personal case.
f) Can you state specifically how they are not broad enough? What should be increased? By how much?
