The interesting thing about this thread is how such a terrible situation can remain unseen by the population. People dying from lack of medical care in one of the most advanced countries in the world. It shows how the media fail to show the true situation of the country, so while every American is told all the faults of other countries and how terrible Soviet Russia was, they are brainwashed into thinking they live in the best possible country.

The NHS in Britain has problems like any big organisation BUT it will see everyone and treat everyone that need help.

I broke my finger playing Volleyball, it was x-rayed and set the same day, treatment every week and exercises after COST NOTHING ( paid for by taxation) FREE AT THE POINT OF NEED.

My father with weak heart taken into hospital 3 or 4 times before he died. Given good care, medical support, home help, oxygen supply and home. ALL FREE AT THE POINT OF NEED.

The main point is, there is no need to worry if you fall ill, there is a Health Service there who is there to care for you NOT FOR PROFIT, NOT TO MAKE A BUCK. But doctors who want to practise medicine NOT busines.
