I’ll bet she gets better health care than what’s provided the average Brit under NHS? Just a thought.

Well, yes - she's going private.

I'm not sure it's well understood, but Britain has a private health care system alongside the NHS and anybody is perfectly free to use it if they choose to - as long as they pay for it, either directly, or through having appropriate health insurance. Only about 8% of people use it, but they're not forced into only using the NHS - people choose it.

Completely true; the UK has both private health care and NHS. Unfortunately that's not the case in Canada, where people with serious medical problems come to the U.S. for treatment instead of waiting on the Canadian Health Care System.

With ObamaCare being implemented here, where will Canadians (and Americans) go for good medical care?
