Yet it’s more cost effective than private insurance based systems.
The “truth of it” is we need an honest conversation about funding it (and social care). People are living longer, with more ailments, yet public opinion is being driven to believe we should be paying less.
Insurance based systems all offer less bang for buck. However, like running a public utility like water, energy or a train operator it’s a good way to extract wealth from citizens to shareholders knowing the public have to carry the can for failure anyway.
