Now NHS lets you jump the queue for routine surgery... if you'll payAccording to official British government statistics, in August 2014, there were 3.2 million Britons 5% of their total population! -- awaiting surgery. Some 189,571, to be precise -- had already waited for more than four months!
So the whole purpose of the NHS was so that everyone in Britain could get good health care.
So now after all of these some 40 years of socialized medicine there are returning to (slowly) a capitalistic system where you pay for better service.
They went to socialized medicine to get away from a two tier system where those with more money get better service and now a Labour government is reversing course.
Absolutely fabulous.

Recalling the gratuitous plug for the NHS at the London Olympics opening ceremony.
Utter political BS from the Brit libtard twits pulling the propaganda for ObamaCare out of their butt --- and totally unappreciated by red blooded Americans who understand what ObamaCare is all about and why it is a colossal disaster at every conceivable level.
Meanwhile, libtards, who have already ruined much of the olympics, now have leveled their sights on US football, with the complicit aid of the incompetent, clueless Commish Goodell.

The foundation for European Healthcare was taking care of the veterans. Since there’s loads of negligence in the U.S. in caring for our vets, I find this statement to be pretty bad comparison.
