Good point it's paid for through taxes which is a much fairer way and should prove cheaper overall assuming everyone pays their share. It's also not dependent on your employment status. The NHS in the UK is in a poor state because of, poor management, under investment in long term solutions (governments change their minds too often), social care not being integrated, private sector involvement taking profits. The model is not perfect but I'd take it over some insurance bull sh*t anytime.

It’s nowhere near free it’s just centrally managed and funded so you can’t really see what it costs. NHS is a great example.
