Noah Wyle Critiques US Healthcare, Praises UK's NHS

On March 25, Noel Wyle, the star of the medical drama, The Pit, took aim at the United States

healthcare system during a screening in London.

He called it overly focused on profits, which hurts patient care, and pushed for a national

service with universal coverage for everyone.

This came right before the United Kingdom and Ireland debut of HBO Max on March 26.

The show follows an underfunded emergency room, led by Wyle's character, Dr. Michael

Robbie Rabina-Vitch.

It is built a big following for showing real struggles in hospitals.

Wyle hopes British viewers connect with it, even though their system works differently.

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom's National Health Service offers free comprehensive care

to citizens, which Wyle acknowledged has its own frustrations.

He contrasts that with the American setup where insurance companies often control decisions

through strict rules.

Wyle episodes from season 1 and most of season 2 will stream at once on HBO Max in the United

Kingdom, with access to partners like Sky and Prime Video.

The final episode of season 2 airs in the United States on March 26.

The series, created by R. Scott Gimill, also features actors like Tracy Ifeature and

Catherine Lanasa.

In 2025, Wyle earned an Emmy for lead actor in a drama, while Lanasa won for supporting

actress, highlighting the show's strong appeal.
