Not all NHS hospitals are hellholes that a third world refugee camp would be embarrased at the comparison... Christies in Manchester, for example, is an NHS-run hospital and it is one of the finest cancer hospitals and research centres in the world...
That said, the NHS needs wholesale institutional reform along French or Singaporeon lines....
A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link. The UK system IS A CANCER. It is the same type of cancer that the Democrats and the idiot president want to inflict on the U.S. system. There is not one American hospital that is as poorly run as the average UK hospital. Private enterprise and the profit margin demand the highest level of care. The fact is that that costs money. If the government got out of the health care business, the quality would go up quicker and the price would go down.
