It seems to me, as a American, that I see way more American politicians saying how horrible the UK HNS and Canadian health services are than I see Brits and Canadians say that.
Contrarily, it seems our politicians praise the American health care system while the populace is more in the “seething dissatisfaction” camp.
As I’m in that camp myself, this is confirmation bias, probably. In actuality, I’m sure that average Brit daily curses the Beveridge Report. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4ap35rus77cg3lzju2v43jxn/post/3m6etdu2op22u
@[email protected] (UK perspective) I think there's a couple of things in play there. In the short term, the NHS is going through a historically rough patch at the moment and has been for a while, so that tends to get more focus internally than comparing it to external systems.
The other is that most Brits don't really have a good handle on how the US system works - you can find some videos of people asking Brits on the street about, for example, the cost of giving birth in the US and they have no idea.
