I live in London and travel to America 10 times a year over the last 3 years. I would agree with above.
In the USA I see more people with chronic healthcare issues that have not been treated (they just get on with it). I suspect its because of the cost of healthcare - in the UK minor issues like leg injuries dont require you to think about cost before seeking treatment. whilst in the US you would have to consider if its a good ROI based on your income.
So the cost may be enough to nudge US ppl to ignore, whilst the free element means more ppl seek intervention in the UK

Of course this is just opinion and not real data.
