I doubt that very much.You are not compelled to do either. I had private treatment for a ligament injury several years ago at my employers insistence,The article states that the NHS does 400,000 of these procedures a year. That sounds like a lot. You do realise that you are still free to go private in the UK. You do not have to use the NHS..No, but here the doctors are weighing the benefits of the surgery against the risks, not rationing the surgery because of the cost.
Why would you want to go private?! I thought the NHS was AMAZING, and the US was sub-standard because it doesn't immediately copy the NHS. Now you're telling me that even with the miraculous NHS, people in Britain STILL need to go private to get what they need?!
I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
I was well looked after. But the surgeon who did the operation was the specialist from the local NHS who I had the initial consultation with. Private medicine in the UK is a parasite on the NHS.
What a coincidence. Socialism is a parasite on the private sector in the US.
Given that you're one of the parasites, I would expect you to.
