The liberals say that the British system is better because the British people have better life expectancy. But those poor Englanders live longer despite the socialized health care system, not because of it.
Our infant mortality rate is lower because our top-notch health care system will go to heroic lengths to try and save premature baby deaths while Europe does not.
Certain elements of American society (ahem) overeat and shoot each other too much — that drives down our life expectancy.
Our health care is the best (until Obamacare takes full effect). Our waiting lists are far shorter. People fly desperately to the United States to get quick and high quality surgery.Recovery from surgery rates are better here than in Europe.
British hospitals are filthy and shocking. So are the lies that the liberals use to justify socialized medicine.
1—The UK contrary to myth here acts the same way as the US re premature babies, it dosent behave as other European countries.
2—The vast majority of British hospitals are not filthy, badly run or shocking. The majority of the NHS is a fine healths ervice with superb doctors and nurses. That isnt to say that isnt perfect by a long shot. There are bad NHS hospitals, doctors and nurses.
Does the NHS have problems?. Yes.
Some very serious.
The NHS badly needs reform.
But is it the hellhole, third rate service people here think it is?.
No.
