I think it’s more nuanced than that. There’s inefficiencies for sure but we need perspective to assess them against.
E.g. A triple heart bypass, the most common major heart surgery in the world, costs:
Approx 110k USD in the US system
Approx 50k EUR (56k USD) in Germany
And just under 9k GBP (12k USD) in the UK
>> I'm not sure how much more money the UK general public really thinks the UK government can come up with to keep giving the NHS "more!" money
Can you clarify what you mean by “come up with” in the context of the GBP which is a fiat currency?
