It's being reported extensively, and it's even spilled over into the UK health-care debate. Here, roughly speaking, socialised health-care was invented by the Left, and is now supported by both sides (to the extent that the Tories now describe themselves as "the party of the NHS") -- but accusations that the Right are only paying lip-service are a commonly-used stick for the Left to bash them with. As it happens, the leaders of both main parties have had children who required a lot of NHS care and, even so, died young; both have said that the experience left them with great admiration for the NHS.

I'm not sure that anyone thinks the UK system is perfect, but I think it's very widely seen in the UK as superior to the current US system.

Mischaracterisations of the UK system by US partisans also abound; from the comical (Stephen Hawking) to the merely misinformed (e.g. the false idea that private medical care outside the NHS system is unavailable in the UK).
