I'll call it awful then, just so as not to appear 'juvenile'. There, a fancy word for shit. And the idea of the NHS is indeed remarkable, as was it's execution until recent times. Clinging on to what it used to be, and what it *tries* to accomplish (very admirable, no argument from me there, and I couldn't imagine a system where some get no healthcare at all), doesn't make it any less shit - sorry, I mean awful - here and now.

As for the germans - you'll have to ask all of them. I know I'd be fine paying more if we got the same quality of administration & care that they do, certainly much more happy than I am paying 8 grand a year and can't get a doctor's appointment with anything less than a 2 week wait, and a so far 14 month wait to even get an appointment at the hearing clinic.
