I notice you failed to mention all the people who get surgeries and treatments postponed over and over.

A woman who ran the NHS for many years died waiting for a follow-up surgery.

Government is the greediest, most corrupt and murderous force on Earth. Anything government touches becomes astronomically expensive.

Glad to see you putting your faith in something that won't let you down.

Unlike you, I actually have experience of the NHS, and for the most part, they provide a decent service. I suffer from epilepsy, and thanks to the NHS I am entitled to free prescriptions to treat this chronic condition, even when I was unemployed and looking for work. If I couldn’t afford the drugs, I couldn’t even have been able to work, so Id have been on the scrapheap and living in chronic poverty. They could do better, but for people who can’t afford private healthcare, being on a waiting list is better than being refused treatment at all because your insurance company refuses to pay for it or you don’t have insurance because you lost your job or you developed an expensive health problem and the insurance company deems you no longer profitable to insure. Private healthcare in the US is amazing, but for those who aren’t rich or well insured, you aren’t going to enjoy anything like that level of service.
