I recall Stephan Molyneux getting Cancer, he went for Medical help in his native Canada.........they told him he was in a "Q" come back in 3 months.
Steph a FULL blooded free market successful bloke with cash didn't !!!!!!!!!!!!

With in 3 days he was infront of a TOP doctor in the US, having already gone though the 1st tests & scans!
It was a close fight, but he pulled though.......smart guy whom took deciive action....& got to LIVE.

Here in dear old Blighty you are pretty much f**ked .....I known 3 people get Cancer (not old or fat either) One has just finished her 1st bout with it, the others died.

She's proposing to fix funding of the NHS, but it'd be good to compare the total healthcare costs per patient across europe for various standard treatments.

I've heard multiple times that the biggest issue with NHS is not the funding, but the large proportion of their costs going to their management layer.

My personal experiences with NHS have been very underwhelming, it looks to me like what I imagine to be an Eastern european level of healthcare that is mostly aimed at treatment of serious disease rather than preventing health issues from becoming serious.
It seems that NHS holds some mythical status with a lot of Brits (like M&S food), purely going on their historical reputation, and talking badly about anything is not done in British culture (it's impolite!).
Well guess what, in order to fix something you'll need to recognise its shortcomings first, impolite or not.

Its good & Bad Frank
Some VERY good care & some piss poor...........

The Nurses used to be hot, but these days they are the size of a house & the tight fitting uniforms have gone & they have baggy "Romper suits" (Scrubs)
