There is a fairly simple comparison to make here, the UK life expectancy is 80.9 years while the US life expectancy is 77.2 years.
Healthcare in the UK is bad for anything that is a non-emergency, this is certainly true. You will be treated fast in the US system for these things. But critical care is still very very good.
Obviously other factors play into this as well, like diets, health and safety, workplace regulations, food regulations and so on. But I don't think the NHS provides poor care to those who absolutely need it. The problem is the in-betweens and things like gender care that are politicised topics.
You're also not getting lesser care if you're poor, which is a major and important factor. Nobody has "bad insurance" here.
