If it's thread I think it is, surely in the absence of free will they can't hold you responsible for what you posted anyway?
(Oh, hang-on, they were pro free will, right? Oops...)

Less so in countries with free at the point of use, nationalised healthcare.

Maybe I should've gone to Poland after I had my head injury so I wouldn't have to pay like 8k out of pocket with insurance and secondary insurance :V

Aye, with the my granddads been, it makes me more thankful for the MHS than I ever thought I could've been, not to say I've never been thankful for it.

No but you would have to sign to a queque and mayyybe in 2020 you could have your operation, orrrr you can go to private surgeon and pay a lot of money... but you know you pay taxes for healthcare..

Is that the hospitals fault though? Or is it a lack of funding and drunk idiots hospitalising each other on a Friday night?

Depends where you are. Last week I saw two doctors, had blood tests, and went for an X-ray. All done within the same day. Had a follow up for test results today.
I know I’m lucky though. Our local health trust has very good relationships with local GP surgeries, so referrals from them get processed quickly. Coming from outside the area you wait longer.

Rather systems fault. Hospitals can treat as many as they can fit and effectively look after. But as it's national healthcare we're talking about it's also about salaries and hospital funding (which are bound together). Needless to say that medical staff's salaries are being frozen (depending on proffesion) for past 10 years or so. So even thogh everybody is paying higher taxes there is not many that would want to heal others for free. In some cases Doctors were loosing funding because they wanted to heal more but they have limits from national health care for how many they'll get paid for.

It's a shame, I've yet to meet a GP, nurse, or any hospital staff who don't put in their all, despite some of the shit they have to deal with, and I don't blame them for the fact that people have to be turned away because they don't have enough beds.
