"The NHS is one of the most critical institutions in the UK. It’s responsible for making sure that our entire country remains healthy. Yet a majority of the country has consistently voted for a party that has a policy of austerity."

Staggering. NHS needs reform as was never designed to scale to the extent needed now yet so many utterly immune to any form of change.
Maybe that author could write a comic book about it?
I’m 56, and for as long as I can remember, the NHS has always been underfunded, mismanaged and taken advantage of, no matter who’s been running the country.
Blair was pushing Privatisation through the back door. The thing with the Tories is that ideologically they don't really want a health system that doesn't make them and their mates a load of cash. It's their biggest sticking point politically. Yet enough of those people out clapping and painting rainbows would've voted to keep the NHS down.
One thing is certain, it was the Tories who decimated mental health provision. Although care in the community did predate them, when taken together the results have been catastrophic. We've gone from taking care of people in the community to abandonment, and leaving them to their own devices.
Saw a tweet the other day which was akin to:
The NHS is loved enough by people that politicians won't discuss changing health system but not loved enough that they'll vote for party who will sufficiently fund it.
We could have a more European model of healthcare or we could have a want for "independence" where we waste billions, lose out on staff with no clear plan to replace them and become reliant on Trump ("the first thing Boris said to me, even before hello, was that they need ventilators.") and USA model which is rife with issues.
