It believes patients have to look after themselves, try again at a later date, or seek medical attention at walk-in centres or A&E. And it warns some conditions may get worse as a result.

The "miracle of Socialism" on display once again.  Sadly, Great Britain again provides Americans with a window to our own future, but far too many refuse to see the obvious path we're on.

 

British-American translation assistance: "A&E" is "Accident and Emergency", equivalent to the Emergency Department or ER of American hospitals.

There are two types of single payer. In one, the gov’t doles out the services, the other, the gov’t has the private sector dole out the services. Neither seem to work well.

Which one are we headed toward?

A sampling from the comments...all of them are well worth reading to see our future should conservatives not gain some measure of control in November.

When you book an appointment (hopefully) at our Practice you are only allowed to discuss one health problem in the 10 minute appointment. If you have a number of differing problems, then you would need a number of appointments, one for each problem. I know of a few people who could well be there all day ! Is it possible to get any dafter than this?

it took me 4 weeks to get an appointment even though I gave my symptoms on the phone everyday for 4 weeks when I did get to see the doctor he told my I had suffered a stroke

Over the past five years the British Pakistani community has swelled in our area beyond all comprehension ...., 80% of the waiting room were Asian patients on Friday, especially babies, they even have an Urdu desk at reception, the nurse at reception said that all Muslim patients must be granted an appointment within a week for religious reasons ....., and that we were not the only Indigenous Family to be reclassified as non-priority cases and turned down for any GP appointment requested.

Every one possible of those 34 million need to on commercials for the upcoming elections. Every possibility. Drive the point home over and over again this is where we’re headed.

What you are not told about British National Health Service (NHS) healthcare:

My son has lived in the London area for 25 years. I know how their healthcare system works. You can be on the NHS plan OR you can buy private healthcare insurance.

There are hospitals for those who use NHS and SEPARATE hospitals for those with private policies. If you have a private policy, you see a doctor faster and if you have to be the hospital, you have a private room.

If you have NHS and wait a long time to see a doctor and then have to be in the hospital, you are placed in a ward with other patients in a NHS hospital for the masses.

My son's wife wanted them to have NHS free medical care as she, a liberal, wanted to be like the majority of people so he canceled the private policy. Then, she had a bleeding ulcer and had to be in the hospital in a ward for a number of days. She said she couldn't sleep with other patients being nosy and couldn't get the nurse to respond to her when she needed the nurse. She wanted him to go back to the private policy, so he did. She is a fake liberal, wants to be one of the common folk, however she went back to private insurance and the son is in a private school rather than being with the masses and their house is in an upscale neighborhood where people there are millionaires.

The point is, there are two ways to get healthcare in England - private AND National Health Service - which is private and private hospital or mass care and mass hospital.
