Every single person I talked to when I was in the UK for a couple work trips said the NHS was ok for routine stuff and they all had private insurance to cover anything non-routine. This was also like a decade ago before their NHS and it's current near collapsed state.
The proponents love to say how much less the UK spends on healthcare than the US. What they conveniently neglect to note is how much the UK *takes* for that free healthcare in taxes, stealth taxes and other games.
Yep, they spend less than the US, but they also take more than most people in the US pay for their health insurance and they also provide a lower level of service with long waits for stuff that in the US you would have done within a few weeks typically.
Their very own BBC new's health page is constantly filled with articles about their failing NHS, people going to other countries private pay to get the care they should be getting from the NHS they pay for but can't because they have multi-year waiting lists, people having to drive hours just to get to an NHS dentist that will see them, etc.
Socialized healthcare is a scam and could only ever work if the overall population health was quite good, which it is not in pretty much any "western" country at present.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
