Despite the brave face Britons put on, the NHS is a nightmare. This is from the article you linked to. If this is what the British government is willing to admit, imagine what it must REALLY be like.

Mr Hunt set out a detailed breakdown of the problems identified at the individual trusts, but among the common themes listed were: • Patients being left on trolleys, unmonitored for excessive periods and then being talked down to by consultants • Poor maintenance in operating theatres, potentially putting patients in danger • Patients often being moved repeatedly between wards without being told why • Staff working for 12 days in a row without a break • Backlogs in complaints • A patient inappropriately exposed where there were both male and female patients present • Low levels of clinical cover - especially out of hours • Hospital boards being unaware of potential problems, including a spate of still births

This is what liberal voters and politicians want for us. Damn them all.
