Yep, and uncontrolled borders and the British welfare state is eating everything else. The fate of Britain is the same as ours unless we reclaim our sovereignty.

...and yet UK Conservatives are proud of the NH spending, to the point of chiding Labour about it. Go figure.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Universal Healthcare is really not a bad idea but terrible in execution. I think the Brits really felt good hearted in having it but it evolved into a huge monstrosity. I think we should find ways to take care of people so they do not have to worry about money to go to the doctors and so on but not make it so where we have rationed care and have it eat up other programs to the detriment of our defense and country. I can see if they wanted to target people who really need it but to provide it for everyone is a huge mistake.
