Of course “Radicalised” would equate to most of the world’s mainstream.
Every politician up for election in the UK, from across the political spectrum has promised more funding for the NHS - We WANT our taxes to be spent on healthcare. (The follow through from the Tories is often lacking)

In Italy we have SSN that is much like NHS. It has a lot of problems, you could wait month for a visit, and have normally some copay on pills and exams. If you have a chronic incurable disease, like diabetes or high blood pressure, you have medicines free.
Grandma died at 97 for cancer and because she was very old was impossible to make surgery or try radiation therapy, so was sent back home and put on paliative care. A nurse got at our house twice a day and gave her morphine to kill the pain and check in fall was ok, they borrowed us an hospital bed and a wheelchair. We had to pay only for bandages, creams and rubbing alchool.

Yeah, we moan about the problems, and they are problems, but when I look at the USA now, I’m ultra grateful for the NHS! I pay my taxes happily!
