This Autumn I will get a phone call to attend the local clinic and have a 'flu' jab, along with a lot of other elderly and those who get any 'flu' badly - I've now begun to qualify on both counts rather than just the latter one.
The NHS has a policy of vaccinating those vulnerable to the virus and the system swings into action once the equinox is past.
I have a defunct thyroid so I get all the Thyroxine and blood tests I need, and all other prescriptions are free as well.
Not far away my grandson and his parents are being visited (late on a Sunday evening) by an expert on breastfeeding as he is not getting it right.
He has had all the care he, and his mum, needed since a couple of weeks after conception, and he is now just over two weeks old. He too will be called into the clinic to have his jabs, he will be checked over regularly, have free dentistry, eye tests - doctors whenever his mum thinks he's unwell, free medication as needed.
How US citisens can tolerate the health system they have I do not know nor understand.
How various people have got away with what has been said about the NHS is equally incomprehensible.
