The term in American English for “NHS” is “Medicare for All.” The 75-year-old calamity across the pond demonstrates why we shouldn’t want such a system here.

It’s a birthday Americans should take note of. The NHS has been an inspiration to generations of American leftists, who have been pining for socialized medicine for years. But Britain’s healthcare system is stumbling through old age, unable to meet the needs of doctors and patients, who are being forced to endure monthslong waits for subpar care. It’s no model for the United States.
