In practice, "free at the point of use" normally means that anyone legitimately registered with the system (i.e. in possession of an NHS number), that is a UK resident in clinical need of treatment, can access medical care, without payment.

Thats to bad. Unfortunately its either high premiums and prices like the US or long wait for elective procedures. Even in the US since Covid tough to find Doctors.

If the high premiums and prices don't attract enough drs why have them? In the end we're going to have to wait for treatment (we already do) and still pay the high prices and premiums, so which system would seem the most beneficial to the patient?
