The British socialized medical system is collapsing....

Anything run by the government turns to crap......no matter how much money you pump into it...it will fail....


Robert Moffit went deeper into the weeds in his piece for The Daily Signal, where he reiterated the benefits and pitfalls of such a system: access to care is universal, but the quality is less than sub-par, with roughly 11 percent of the UK population still waiting on emergency care. Cancer treatments have been grossly disrupted, thanks to the COVID pandemic, and tweaks, which have long been called for, appear to be a top necessity now if the UK wishes to save this system (via Daily Signal):

Moffit added that this is what Democrats are trying to import here, including all the provisions that’s driving the NHS’ demise:

The reality, however, is this: The congressional single-payer bill (HR 1976) contains the key components driving the implosion of the British health care system, including government budgeting, bureaucratic central planning, and reduced pay for doctors and nurses.
Yet, last year, 120 House Democrats co-sponsored the legislation.
In sharp contrast to the congressional liberals’ top-down regime, which would restrict private coverage and care for Americans, British patients are still free to go outside of the British single-payer program and spend their own money on private health insurance coverage and care of their choice.

what took so long...when they started arbitrarily condemning children to death because they would Not treat them but worse...would not let other countries treat the children, the Brits should have hauled them out of their offices and beat then to a bloody pulp.

You would have thought that they would have put their focus on Dentistry seeing how they are still in the dark ages in that regard.

Very easy to criticise but this service still provides health treatment free .

And the out of power communists masquerading as an out of date variety of socialism -- think Timmy Tummy ---never have any solutions to offer
In fact they deliberately try to use health politically by refusing to see that free treatment for everybody as an idea and aim needs revision .
It just cannot work .Not enough money .
But regardless , these opponents try to use it as a weapon and claim free treatment is a sacred principle which we must never give up -- a shabby tactic to win votes to obtain to win back power . So shoddy and shallow .
