Your issues are obviously ideological and I am impressed that you can dredge up figures from a decade back. How does it compare with the survival rate in Reno ?You are one thick fucker.The NHS has ALWAYS struggled. Show us a time when it wasn't killing people who otherwise would have lived. Socialized medicine is great so long as you don't get sick. Then it comes down to do you have enough money to go get treatment elsewhere.
In the UK, women with breast cancer live less time than here in the USA. That is a fact. In Reno, there is a whole wing devoted to Canadian patients who come down for their surgical procedures. There are two Canadian politicians who fled to the USA to get their procedures done because they wanted to live.
You and your socialized health care are crap.
You could have pointed to cervical cancer and skin and lung cancer where the UK figures are better. Heart disease which is better. Alzheimer and dementia survival is also better in the UK.
There are probably other areas that the US is better but in all honesty both countries could do better.
I could go on but the point is you cant pick a couple of random stats to invalidate a system that has served us well in all our lifetimes.
Reno aint the world either.
I think when it comes to thick fuckers you are right there at the top of the heap, sport. I can go toe to toe with you any day of the week on this matter doofus. I am blinder free.
UK cancer survival rates below European average
“Cancer survival in Britain the worst in Europe,” The Daily Telegraph reports.
This and many other similar headlines are prompted by a major new study on cancer survival rates in Europe from 1997 to 2007.
While survival rates have tended to improve, cancer survival still varies widely between European countries. The lowest survival rates for most cancers were found in eastern Europe."
As are yours sweet cheeks. The NHS hasn't improved. It has continued to get worse. There is no penalty for failing. The fact that you seem to be happy with it is great. I just hope you don't get sick any time soon. This is the sort of "care" you approve of. You must be either incredibly stupid, incredibly partisan, or making a buck off of the misery so you propagandize it. Any way you cut it though, the NHS is failing the people of the UK.
NHS trust 'failed to investigate hundreds of deaths'
The NHS has failed to investigate the unexpected deaths of more than 1,000 people since 2011, according to a report obtained by BBC News.
It blames a "failure of leadership" at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust.
It says the deaths of mental health and learning-disability patients were not properly examined.
Southern Health said it "fully accepted" the quality of processes for investigating and reporting a death needed to be better, but had improved.
The trust is one of the country's largest mental health trusts, covering Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and providing services to about 45,000 people.

I have actually had day surgery today and was very well treated. What would set me back $25k in the US cost me £2 up front to park my car. The whole thing paid for by my taxes and those of my neighbours.
That is what an advanced society does.
I admire the fact that you have time to google any bad news story that you can find but it hardly invalidates the service. No society in the world is immune to human error or corruption. I guess that you are lucky that the US has never had any health scandals and that rich and poor are cared for from the cradle to the grave.
And just a reminder that the NHS was set up due to the total and utter failure of the free market to provide a service that was fit for purpose.
Stay out of the sun kid,its affecting whatever judgement you were born with.
Meh, I had back surgery, massive amounts of morphine and stayed two days in the hospital and the whole thing cost me $150 dollars. Plus I injured my back on Tuesday and had my surgery on Thursday. No waiting.
