    Does the US only spend double per capita than we do? I thought cost was an order of magnitude worse in their private healthcare.

      We’ve been spending much more per capita in the NHS in recent years than we used to. Part of that is the aging population and Covid, but a big part is probably the increase in privatisation. Paying agency workers to fill up chronic staffing shortages etc
