American health providers are draining UK healthcare dry?

Do tell

The worse NHS is, the more money to be made in private sector insurance.

I don’t think it’s accurate to say American healthcare providers are draining, UK, healthcare dry, but that isn’t exactly what he said.

He said NHS has been deliberately drained of funds, but that's completely inaccurate. Funding has increased every year.

He's simply posting the same anti US copypasta.

Why are you linking a site with a political agenda? Why not just look up the actual funding?

As you can clearly see, funding has increased every year from $3 billion to $10 billion per year.

Because that doesn’t take into account, the cost of more complicated technologies, wages, etc

Ignores the reality of UK losing hospital beds.

Ignoring the reality of buy their own standards, they are incredibly under staffed.

But let me guess you’re gonna pretend the whole austerity with NHS movement had nothing to do with training funds.
