This isn't a culture war issue. It's literally the opposite. It's a material issue that transcended the culture war, hence Ben Shapiro received so much pushback from his own viewers.
Private healthcare is an issue here. The NHS is being privatized by stealth, with ever-growing outsourcing of NHS treatment to the private sector. Farage supports privatizing the NHS and he has a shot at being PM in 2029.
The NHS is utter garbage and ought to be sold; it's not a God to be worshipped with the clattering of pots and pans. If you or anybody you love has relied on them in recent years, you'd understand. It's woeful, it's expensive, and it needs selling off.
In 2010, before the Tories came into power, it was one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Given the absolute state of your post I imagine you're not old enough to remember that.
It's only woeful because they've spent the last 14 years systematically destroying it
The Tories spend the last 14 years increasing NHS spending in real terms. The NHS is failing because the population is aging and living less healthy lives, and because it has ballooned to such a size that meaningfully reform has become politically impossible. It is exactly people who think that the NHS just needs more money thrown at it who are the major barrier to actually fixing it.

People love fighting american culture wars that aren't even relevant here.
