The quality was excellent, the issue was speed. For example if you needed a hip replacement which was non life threatening you could wait years. That seems to have improved a lot as my sister who still lives in the UK. Tripped in a restaurant recently and busted her hip. She was taken in the same day. She fell again and again was taken in the same day, they also found she needed a pacemaker which was implanted within a week. So it looks like they have improved the speed quite a bit. No bills even for the ambulances which used to be separate from the Hospitals and cost a fortune, cost to her, zero.
Sadly even though i paid in more than $864,000 over the 35 years i worked in the UK i will get zero back for it, thats was my choice, i didn't have to move to the states!
