A former Brit, now and American, told me about the long waits. He said, (approximately), “If you spot a problem in the UK it may become fatal before you get referred to somebody else. They call me and fly here. I have them in the doctor’s office the next day. They have a diagnosis in a week and they can have it treated here. The choice is stay home ‘for free’ and possibly die or pay the money and have it treated right away in the US.”
an old school mate emigrated to England about 25 years ago. She constantly raved about England but flies to family in Florida for healthcare, especially eye care for she is slowly losing vision.
The US stinks as far as she is concerned but boy does she use it. I think she uses our welfare system because she is a Brit citizen now but also masquerades as a US citizen, because no one checks.
Not a friend any more
