I often think of a picture I saw of a man whose broken arm set itself in an extremely deformed manner because he had to wait soooooo long for medical treatment

Yeah...this guy...the plumber...

they told him he couldn't get disability payments because his arm would fit around the back of a pipe.

And don't get me started on UK dental....

*British People don’t smile often… And it’s not only because their HC system sucks…: The dental coverage in the UK is a complete disaster… A man pulled out 13 of his own teeth with a pair of pliers.

This man,Ian Boynton, a former soldier, had to pull out his teeth because he could not find a NHS dentist. Iraq War veteran Ian Boynton could not afford to go private for treatment.

Ian Boynton is not the only British who san’t afford getting dental care. 1 in 5 people don’t get any dental care because the cost is way too high. (I thought it was free…)
