I wouldn't necessarily say its broken, but it is severely underfunded. And there are changes that can and maybe shoud be made to help the NHS. I really do not want to end up in an American style system where the poorest are basically left to fend for themelves (though I believe this Obama care if it still exists helps that? Not up to date on American stuff tbh)

I flip between thinking this is a good idea and a bad idea. Means testing certain treatments. For example gastric bands (when the obesity is not caused by a medical problem) or the likes of plastic surgeries. Not sure if we still do boobjobs on the NHS but stuff like that really should not be funded if we do. With the exception of rebuilding after mastectomies and such. I think this would ease the pressure, but on the other hand it would maybe just speed up the privatization of the NHS and put us even closer to an American type model.

But yeah, at present the NHS is pretty ****ed. Most NHS staff I know acknowledge this. Where are these people kicking off because Trump said this? And was that really all he said or was there more?
