It is a fact that countries like Canada, France and the UK spend less per capita on healthcare than we do in the US. It is also true that they get what they pay for - less healthcare. They wait in lines for treatments, don’t use the most current drugs, and some procedures are just not available. If you’re rich enough you can come to the US or pay for private treatment.

If you’re rich enough, you can stay in the UK and pay for private treatment. Britain has a large and very modern private health industry.
I often wonder why foreigners seem to think because we have an NHS service, we don’t have a large private health service as well? Most decent jobs in Britain include private medical insurance so employees and their families don’t need to use the NHS.
