“The UK healthcare system is a total disaster. I hope they continue stories like these. There seems to be a horror story every week coming out of Britain!”
Yeah, for sure. The author is being misleading (lying) about the British health care system. In the UK it is not illegal to use private healthcare or to have private medical coverage. S, the affluent use what’s known as concierge health service. The rest of the population utilizes the national single payer system which sucks by the way. It’s not uncommon to die while waiting for medical help. Conversely, Canada has nationalized health care too. And, it’s illegal in Canada for a doctor to provide service outside of the system. So, what do the Canadian do for good prompt medical attention? Well, being that over 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border they get in their cars and drive over to the US side. So, now you know. Btw, concierge service is a rapidly growing sector here in the US. And, you low information folks thought you were going to screw the productive class didn’t you? Lol! Never happen, they’re too smart for you :)
