I’m only across the water in Ireland and I can tell you from experience that ambulances arrive quickly, are free and so is the treatment. The UK health system is measurably better than ours so I feel like this is plucked from somewhere that the sun doesn’t shine.
I have family over there and they told me that health system went from one of the best pre brexit to quite bad today with huge waiting times for ambulance.
We may are a bit spoiled by the german health system.
And yes, i know that US have one of the most expensive and worst health systems for a so called first world country.
Well, maybe your family called for a bullshit emergency.
The wait times for actual life threatening emergencies are low. But the data is public, take a look for yourself.
It’s the same when somebody complains about long wait times in the ER in Germany. If they had to wait a long time, it wasn’t an emergency. Simple as that.
Here is a video that explains it to non-medical people how it works
But they at least still have ambulance. Wouldnt want to be in the UK while having a heartattack
If you have an heart attack they are there in ~8 Minutes
Maybe look at the actual data before spewing dumb shit

Are you saying the UK doesn’t have ambulances?
That’s a ridiculous and easily disprovable claim.
Also aren’t the nonexistent uk ambulances free?
As in not charged at a rate of thousands of dollars, they’d still be tax funded I assume.

To be fair, that describes the UK pretty well.

I might as well not have one here in the states, I’m not wealthy enough. My health plan is to walk it off until I die young
