‘If you’re rich enough you can come to the US or pay for private treatment.’
If you’re rich enough, you can stay in the UK and pay for private treatment. Britain has a large and very modern private health industry.
I often wonder why foreigners seem to think because we have an NHS service, we don’t have a large private health service as well? Most decent jobs in Britain include private medical insurance so employees and their families don’t need to use the NHS.
Never said the Brits didn’t have private healthcare or private insurance. Since my aunt spent 20 years there as an economics professor at University of Essex, I’ve certainly heard of her experiences. That said, give me Johns Hopkins, Stanford, or some other major US hospital if my life was on the line.
