Cancer care in the UK is horrific, almost third world. Your best survival strategy is to immigrate to the United States. I mean that literally.

Notice that the UK is moving out of its medical Stone Age in PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS.

(Not that Teddy Kennedy and the democrats ever intend for one millisecond to subject themselves of their families to the cr*p medical care they plan to mandate on the sheeple)

” if a primary care trust (PCT) cannot give cancer patients a specialist appointment within two weeks of referral from a GP, it will have to provide equivalent funding for a private consultation.”

This will make the PCT do what ever it takes to meet the two weeks so they do not have to pay. Bad quality medicine is going to get a whole lot worse in the UK. Coming soon to America.

"Currently only elective surgery such as hip replacements and cataract surgery is provided through private treatment.

I see. So being blind, or a gimp is the prefered way of life in the UK.

Kinda sucks when you run out of specialists.
