    UK here. Can they do the maths for us too please?. Just a few billion would let us employ a few thousand more doctors… That’d be awesome…Thx.

        Unfortunately, it turns out that, in retrospect, the billions did not quite have the desired effect and the health system is just as fucked as it was before, but - unrelated: have you seen my new yachts? They’re even bigger than those of my cronies!

        From the UK, the NHS is in a pretty bad state. Long wait times, overworked and underfunded doctors to the point some of them are moving for better pay overseas, possible management issues (anecdotal, read on Reddit years ago) are to name a few. While not unique to it, there’s a certain pride to the NHS being a success for socialised healthcare so to see it in the state it’s in can be extremely frustrating especially as someone living in the UK.
