Noah Wyle: US Needs UK-Style Healthcare

0:00On March 26, Noah Wile, the star of the medical drama, The Pit, took aim at the United States healthcare system during a screening in London. He called it, profit-driven and focused more on insurance rules than patient care. This came ahead of the HBO Max launch in the United Kingdom in Ireland on March 26. The former ER actor plays the head of a struggling emergency room in the show, which highlights real issues like underfunding and staff shortages. Wile hopes UK viewers connect with those challenges, even though their system works differently. He pushed for a national healthcare service in the US, like the publicly funded national health service here, to provide universal coverage for everyone. Wile admitted the UK setup has its own frustrations, but it's free and comprehensive for citizens. The series has earned big praise, with Wile picking up an Emmy for lead actor in a drama in 2025. Other cast members, including Catherine Lanasa, also won awards. UK fans can now binge all of season 1 and most of season 2 on HBO Max through Sky or Prime
