but wouldn't it be worth it in the end? imo healthcare is a human right. plus, it'd probably be the rich who'd have to pay more (in an ideal setting)

Only for Americans. Most European countries have state provided healthcare.

In Canada both liberals and conservatives support our universal care.

Making the NHS public makes everything take forever. It's better to go private, everyone crying that it's slowly bring privatised but I don't know what would be lost

They don’t mind waiting in long queues because they can’t afford to pay for their own healthcare... People become complacent & say “well our taxes will pay for it”, but they should think about the changes future brings
