Not sure what reality you live in, but NHS Emergency care is among the best in the world.

But that's not the straw man that the comment I responded to was attempting to construct.
It's widely known that non-critical care is a postcode lottery. But in the few times I and others have needed the NHS in life-or-death situations, they have been nothing short of amazing.

I cannot agree more. GPs and sometimes A&E is sheesh, but if you get through to specialist NHS is amazing
There ongoing and preventative care has gotten bad enough that it can drive you to A&E to actually get seen. Last time I called my NHS doctor I was given an appointment 3 weeks out and my mom just waited 6 weeks for an X-ray on her foot.
