Believer
It is good for your daughter to have the daddy who is able to pay for her medical care, which, I guess, is not too costly for a young and healthy lady. Yeah, a spoiled girl may judge about health care system in Britain in categories of how luxury it is.
Some people have to judge by affordability.
What to do for a person who is self-employed in small business (can not get medical insurance through employment), is close to his or her sixty, has medical problems, say, diabetes,(the cost of insurance is to high), is paying mortgage, and is not eligible for Medicaid by income of 50 000 for a family of three (one of them a student)? What to do for 40 mln Americans without health insurance? First serious hospitalization will take away their house, everything they have, and will send them to the very bottom, to live on public assistance.
So, you and your daughter must be more appreciative about socialist health care system.
By GDP per capita, capitalistic USA is ranked 11-th.
Socialist
Luxembourg, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands are ahead.
By the quality of life:

So, is socialism in Europe indeed so scary?
