You couldn't be more wrong, but that's par for the course with you.

Nobody in the UK is denied treatment and nobody has to produce a checkbook or credit card to get it.

That system you deride costs us individually a very small percentage of our earnings taken each payday.

I paid an average of £30 National Insurance per month throughout my working life, and there are no exclusions excesses or co-pay schemes.

That is about one fifth of what it costs for a much reduced level of cover in the USA, and that only if you are not among the millions who are not even in the system.

You have some nerve criticising our NHS, when you kill thousands by not offering ANY treatment to those with nothing in the bank.

The UK Media are spouting off about funding problems which actually relate to Social Care rather than medical.

I'd suggest that you make sure you know what you're talking about before opening that big loose mouth, but that would require a modicum of intelligence.

BTW, most UK citizens would be willing to pay more for healthcare, if asked.

Many Americans would throw a hissy fit at the thought.
