As an american living in Britain, I have lived under both systems. As far as stories go with waiting times for operations and “some specialist” treatments there are waiting times in Britain. They also have private health care options in Britain, some in the debate (from the american right) say they do not and that is a lie. As far as people losing all they have for treatment in America, that is true. However, when it comes to routine, preventive medicine Britain does it better, mainly because this is available to 99.99% of the public. By the way, stories of waiting for emergency treatment, x-rays, stitches etc. etc. is fabrication. Both countries (oops and canada too) have essentially very high quality when it comes to emergency treatment.
