I've just spent a month having radiotherapy in a Sheffield hospital for prostate cancer. The hospital was excellent, with superb staff and lots of helpful insight. I'm over 65 so all drug prescriptions are free. It's cost me nothing, and I had to wait no more than a couple of months, and I had some very high tech scans. I've had to worry about nothing outside the disease itself, which with luck has now been beaten. Wake up, America, and get it done!!
Prior to the nationalisation of our health service in the '40s, the main objectors were the medical profession (just like the AMA). Very few of them would now like to go back...
