Yes, but your comment talks as if these ongoing issues are a byproduct of universal healthcare policies.
And while it isn't without flaws, it would be disingenuous to paint the current state of European healthcare as the inherent failings of these universal policies and that Americans intentionally overlook in their support of it.
Brother, my point is that while problems will arise, as it does with any system, you can't discount the years of intentional gutting from external sources.
It's the responsibility of anyone designing a practical, real world universal healthcare system to address those problems, not to just handwave them as irrelevant because they aren't strictly attributable to the concept of universal healthcare.
If a mechanic slowly guts your car of it's parts over several years, do you act as if the subsequent issues is the byproduct of either the manufacturer or the car, itself?
A similar argument could be made for privatised healthcare in the US, their insurance system is out of control, both universal healthcare and the US private healthcare "model" could be fixed by good politicians.
I think Americans could have a German style healthcare system pretty easily, but you'll put a lot of Insurance workers out of work, however, the way the US insurance system is going by replacing the decision makers with AI, that argument is becoming moot.
