Heck, criticism of the NHS even has it's own Wikipedia page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_o...th_Service
Now, I'll grant you that when the NHS works, it works well. The problem is, it rarely does.
A great deal of the US healthcare problems stem from the lack of any decent competition between insurance companies, especially over state lines. People are limited in their choice of health insurance providers, often because of the hospitals in their area only dealing with certain companies. Making it law that hospitals have to accept any kind of insurance, and that insurance from a Californian company works just as well in Florida would be a good start.
