This is incorrect. If someone wants to pay for private healthcare, or for health insurance to cover it, then they are free to do so. Contrary to what you may believe the UK is actually not a Soviet state....
Please don't get me wrong, I really love the UK. It's where all my ancestry came from. But from the news articles I read, I have to wonder if Lenin's Tomb has found a new custodian. Perhaps it's media bias, or perhaps the English are undergoing temporary insanity. It's not just one thing; we have coddling of the beheaders, pointy knife amnesty, universal healthcare (that must wait exactly 122 days), and then there's Prince Charles and Red Ken. Also signs in 37 languages, everything except English. One must wonder.
