I don't think anyone would try to claim that there are no problems with the NHS, but the outcomes of single-payer healthcare provision vs. something like the American system only have one winner.
A friend of the Mrs is a Doctor and made an interesting observation - she believes that there is enough money in the NHS now, but it's simply spent very badly. However, the way to make it be spent more wisely is not to remove it, or starve the system in the short term.
Also, the progressive privatisation that we see at the moment will simply divert tax into private hands.
