I'm Brit and in the UK so the bad news for us is that our various political administrations over the last 40 years have been steadily unscrewing the nuts and bolts,they want to make our societal structure just like America. Since COVID the pace has quickened. But they make it look like it's what WE want. So you have to wait 3 weeks for a doctor's appointment,then six months to see a consultant,then another 3 years for the operation. So,you dip into your savings,in fact you spend the bloody lot on having that operation done privately. I know loads of people who've done that. The same consultant who tells you what specialized operation you need (to save your eyesight-true story)and the NHS wait is about 3 years,will say if you ask,"but if I pay privately can it be done quicker",that SAME consultant will reply,"Yes,by me,next week,at that private hospital across the road". That's how it is in UK now and more areas of life are getting Americanised especially you can't move in a store,or as we still call them supermarkets,without coming face to face with cases full of vomit inducing Krispy Kreme donuts.
