Many think we do properly fund, but I'd consider looking at some of these Northern European models if you would consider moving to their style of health system, which isn't based on the NHS.

The Northern European systems are all mixed. They don't get spooked by private healthcare, insurance based systems, and I know plenty of right of centre people politically that would welcome us considering a move to systems like German, Swiss, Swedish, Norwegian... healthcare funding and structure.

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.
