This is why the Brits have such lousy teeth, among other problems.
...and that the NHS lacks the highly specialist rehabilitation services she needs after surgery.
...
That costs money, and the commies are running out of other people’s money. The system is overburdened with Muslims who hate the West and there’s a big stupid royal wedding coming up.
Now would be a good time for them to arrange everything needed for travel to the US for such surgery.
Yet it is almost impossible to find a Brit who will admit that the NHS may not be the greatest idea in the history of medicine. Even Ukip avoids suggesting that it should be privatized.
Under a single payer system the payer is very efficient, orderly and unified. One option, take it or leave it, Citizen.
(Oh and if you want to leave it by moving your dying baby to an Italian hospital that provides some hope of life, we'll line up a wall of guards to keep that from happening...)
They are actually doing preliminary research for implementing shariah. Sword? Or scalpel?
Rationed care.
Large, centrally-planned systems can produce good results on very specific, repeatable functions not subject to change variation.
Unfortunately, that is not how human health is. In fact, its usually quite the opposite.
Thirty years ago I was in Rome and the daughter of a friend, who was a dwarf, had both her legs lengthened. Painful but it was done and no doctor ever suggested an amputation. Get that girl out of England!
I know the answer to the question asked in the headline.
Money.
Because it has over a million employees who sick up salaries, pensions, and bennies.
Because the NHS lives on a budget, and the US lives on borrowed or printed money.
Just a few years ago, I read here that wealthy people wanting to two or three inches taller had made thigh bone lengthening something of a fad in China. Bet there are specialists in Hong Kong or Singapore that could do it.f
Hmnmmm. Could it be because it is GOVERNMENT-RUN “health care”?
I know a young girl who had a 6 inch difference. They shortened one leg and lengthened the other and there is just a small difference.
Kyra. Most likely a white girl. Theres the main reason.
this is England, declare her life is not worth saving, lock her in a hospital and kill her. don’t forget to harvest her organs. they could be used for someone else. refuse to let her be treated outside of the U.K.
