With all that info you cited, how do you explain the fact that most Brits can't opt out of that public system fast enough? I guess they're just not as informed as you are.

There are stats that make their system look superior to ours. There are also stats, that I see you neglected to mention, that make our system look superior.

I don't pretend to know the answer. I do know that the opening ceremonies at the Olympics is a strange forum to have that discussion.
