OK here are a few facts about the NHS which my mother uses and is still over in England.

Years ago her and her husband wanted to get checked for cancer, it took 11 months and during that timer her husband died on the sofa of cancer.

About 5 years later , maybe 4 she needed surgery on her knee,
The Doc told her that she had been refused and he had to do an appeal to London, it took more months and he won the appeal.
It took months to get that answer and finally she was told she needed to be ready on a certain date but call the night before.
I asked why should you call and she told me”because to see if they have a spare bed?

To her this is normal due to her always living there.
She was refused 3 times and finally got her surgery.
She never got her full PT after the surgery either.

Last week I called her and she told me that she had been sick, can’t eat and pains in her stomach.
Weeks later she was told she can get a x ray no cat scan no MRI.
She got the xray last week but told me it takes 7 to 10 days for the results.
She now tells me that the Doc called her but it will take another two weeks before she can see a Doc.

She is 82 and this is how old people are treated while those in prison and illegals and immigrants get their medical help right away.

This is coming to America because dopey stupid people voted for this and still think it’s a free health care.

I’m seeing more old beat up clunker cars spewing smog and driven by aging gray-haired hippies with the bumper sticker “I Love Obamacare.”

Makes me sick seeing the dregs of society bragging about getting their substandard “free” stuff.

What you need to do to counter the argument is to tell the simple basic truth that the NHS system is NOT free health care. It is free AT THE POINT OF DELIVERY health care. (at least theoretically. If you're too ill to work and yet you cant get treatment for nine months its hardly free is it?)

It still has to be paid for, by someone, somehow. The American public needs to be made aware of that, because I dont think they fully understand that.

Thanks manc. Is always nice to see facts. Prayers for your Mother that the care she is suffering under will improve and more prayers for your Mother’s health to improve.
