This is not the only problem currently confronting public services in the United Kingdom. The country has also been hit with strikes from railroad workers and the border force.

Essentially, the UK’s public services are on the verge of collapse. But while these other strikes are indeed crippling to the life of the nation, the NHS strike is the most disastrous as it is now putting people’s lives at risk.

These stories also serve as a dire warning to the United States, where, for years, Progressive politicians have backed plans for a universal healthcare system based on the models of European countries.

One of the most outspoken proponents of this plan is Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who, during his 2020 presidential run, proposed the idea of Medicare for All, which would cost the nation $750 billion over ten years.

Meanwhile, Progressive Democratic socialists continue to point to countries such as the Nordic states as examples of the success of Socialism, despite the fact that these nations are not really socialist.

But stories like this one out of the United Kingdom show that these universal government services work well in theory, but in practice, they collapse under intense strain.

Do we really want to live in a system that is liable to collapse every time things get difficult, or do we want a free market system that has proven itself resilient under pressure?
