Here in the USA, a coupe of years ago my wife broke her ankle and dislocated a finger in a trip and fall accident. We have insurance, we went to the local hospital (6 blocks away) and waited hours and hours for treatment. The only prompt service was when a nurse called a fire department to come cut off my wife's ring which was in danger of cutting off the blood supply due to swelling. After that five minute 'operation' is was back to waiting and waiting... Don't talk to me about private medicine. Legalize extortion.

When I was ill they where outstanding. When my dad was ill again outstanding. If you break an arm or something minor you might way a few hours to be treated but once in my experience is that they are outstanding. My daughter is currently receiveing treatment and she has moved form Private treatment (ie we paid for it) to the NHS. They have opened more doors and got her into the proper treatment and do nothing but help. Have I had bad expereinces in it. Yes I have but at the end of the day if me or any of the family are ill we get looked after for "free" as does everyone else. The biggest gripe I have with the NHS is at times the time to get treatment can be really long and private woudl be very quick. But for the vast majority of people who cannot afford to go private the NHS is there.

It is not without faults, but throughout my whole life it has looked after me and my family for minor and major health matters. Quite simply, it is outstanding. My biggest criticism it that it does appear to be "managerial" heavy. IOW, needs more spending on front line services, less on the bean counters. ~The new contracts for GPs and Dentists is way over the top. Our new GP was a surgeon but left that to become a GP because she can now earn >£300,000 a year. Twice what she was earning as a surgeon. Needs some fine adjustments, but basically, it really is good.
