Medical care and loads more will be turned over to the Insurance companies Anyone with a pet will tell you what happens when the American companies get their hands on a sector. 60+% of UK Vets are now American owned and they flog you insurance with loads of exclusions

Or you go uninsured and hope that any fees won't be crippling.

We don't pet insure and have a clear plan on what will happen in case of emergency with regard to cost

On one bill from a US hospital, they tried to charge a patient $30 because the nurse asked the patient if she was ok? (They appealed this charge, and won). Off the scale

I saw some of those bills when on a study tour of DC and Baltimore in 1990. In those days they were still dot matrix printed. An ITU listing of everything that had been done to one patient was a substantial pile when plonked on the table!
