How will they ensure they continue working or train replacements if their parent company no longer employs or pays them? What's to stop them leaving the country?

They are _not_ hosting UK government data in the US. They offer on-premise and self-managed cloud offerings, which are often used where data sovereignty is important.

I think the complexity arrives when the 14-year-old asks the follow up question "why?"

So there's a bunch of existing intermediaries, which is bad, and to fix that we're going to add the exact same set of intermediaries, but on top of bitcoin, which means its good?

Germany has reference pricing for their drugs system and doesn't seem to have a supply issue. Genuine question, is there something that makes you think that wouldn't be true for the US?
