As bad as the experiences are for the UK population they will be far worse here. We have intractable poverty a victimhood mentality and illiteracy levels that are staggering for a country that has put so many resources to fixing these problems.

National health care will be the first chapter in the book of bad ideas. An impending disaster that we will not be able to pay for, or fix after it is enacted.

Before some politician tries to get me to buy into nationalized health care I need to be convinced that he and his family will be part of the program too.

Actually, UK citizens are allowed to use private doctors of their own choice.

Things are only bad in the UK if people want FREE healthcare. Most of my family uses private providers when necessary.

Yes, but they must pay all costs incurred. On top of which, they are still paying for their 'free' health care.
