Damn right! I loved the NHS when I lived in the UK. I broke my ankle when I was a kid over there, same deal, into the hospital, xrays, cast, etc, not a cent out of pocket for my family. I got a nice pair of crutches on load which I returned at the end and even got to try using a wheelchair when we went to Tesco because I stacked it (Aussie slang for fell over badly) on the way in on my crutches and they panicked, so yay for new experiences! Overall, 10/10 would recommend the NHS as of 1998, and the Australian Medicare system as of the rest of my experiences (2007, 2012, 2023) which resulted in hospitalisation.
