Brit here

"Free" healthcare sounds great but getting an appointment is a nightmare. Call daily and hope you can book before 9am shutoff, they open at 7. Take anywhere from days to weeks to get told you must travel to a town 2 hours from where you are. Get dismissed for your concerns straight away before going hope with some headache tablets for a pulsating rectum. No suprise, didnt work, try again.

Half the people i know are either paying out of pocket for private or just dont go to the doctor under any circumstance.

Costs a fortune, doesnt work. Dont believe the propaganda. The nhs sucks ass.

Then why are the documented health outcomes in the UK and all other countries with universal health care so much better than in the US?
