The US spends more than 16% of GDP on health. The UK around 11%.

Shrinking US health expenditure by 3% of GDP while roughly maintaining health outcomes is eminently, obviously doable.

Sure, it's possible in principle. But the US also has a much higher GDP per capita than the UK. The UK is a (relatively) poor country and is increasingly being left behind.
