The Northern European systems are all mixed.

The constant resistance is mindboggling to me.

But anyone who discusses such a consideration gets the US system chucked back at them. I don't know anyone advocating it as an example for us to follow.
Yes, I'm aware they have mixed systems, as we now have in some respects. My reference to the N European countries was with regard to their socially democratic policies that result in fairer societies.

Plenty of evidence that the NHS is underfunded when compared to most countries in Europe, despite what many think.
