Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful it exists at all, but there's a reason doctors have just announced the longest strike in NHS history unfortunately. My wife is a doctor and frequently treats dying patients in the corridor, it's just a mess and a lot of people seem to think it's being deliberately underfunded to eventually make privatisation the only option.
That's one downside of public infrastructure. The government can only allocate a certain budget. There's a similar situation where I live but it's about a school.
