"That should be a wake-up call for US liberals"
The only "wake-up call" they will hear is "we need to spend even more OPM to make it work."

Healthcare in every developed country but the USA are going to collapse with an aging population.
Will lead to big political problems in all of them.

Liberals in the US always believe they can do it better than anyone else, whether at the national level, or if they move to another state.

Doesn’t matter at all to leftists
Every patient in the NHS system could literally die today, and the left would merely claim it wasn’t implemented properly, or dark conservative forces had a hand in its undoing.

It won’t be a wake up call.
Just like Socialism and Communism, the US version will be better. Doesn’t matter that it hasn’t worked ANYWHERE in the world, the US version will be better.
Vermont tried it and it failed. Massachusetts tried it and it failed.
Have no fear though, with the millions if illegals in the country, Medicaid/Medicare will soon be bankrupt so everyone is eff’d. Just talk to the folks at the hospital in Yuma, Az.

The reason this kind of program continues to be proposed again and again is that the excuse is made, “Not the right people running it.”
There shall NEVER be the “right people running it.” Fraud and arbitrary administration are both far too easy with only limited oversight and the lack of any actual competition to force scrutiny of failed practices that crop up and become institutionalized.

IMHO leftists will think this is a feature, as the world need fewer people.

The UK experience will mean absolutely nothing to American liberals.
Because here’s the (wildly incorrect) thinking of every socialist, everywhere:

There’s no waking them up with anything because they’re dead enders who are part of a death cult that will go down with the ship and take all of the rest of us with them.
