the health delivery system is not private in Britain as is its insurance component?

Of course. But thats the goal for here.

Comparing Britain's system to ours, as the article implies, is apples and bananas.

Ah but liberals are eager to publish international comparisons when it suits their argument. Oh wait, you're doing it too:

For every horror story there is an equivalent one just about anywhere. And even with that, the article fails to mention that their system ranks higher than ours, spends 40% of ours, has lower infant mortality, higher life expectancy, lower rate of hospital mistakes.

We know their system ranks higher than ours because they count infant mortality different, we have higher traffic and homicide fatalities .... and re. that "lower rate of hospital mistakes" - thats hogwash - unless you consider that crappy care isn't a mistake.
