Once upon a time, the Much Vaunted National Health System© was "declared the best healthcare system by an international panel of experts who rated its care superior to countries which spend far more on health."
While we would vigorously dispute that, it's really not necessary to do so, as recent events just shore up our claim that the socialized medicine scheme is, in fact, failing.
And what evidence can we provide? Well, thanks to co-blogger Bob V, here are just two examples that "free" ≠ "good."
Case the First:
"NHS Health Check ... The number of patients on hospital wards in England has been at unsafe levels at nine out of 10 NHS trusts this winter"
Wow, a 90% fail rate. Now that's impressive.
But it gets better (for certain values of "better"). Let's put a more personal face on it:
"A family has launched a desperate appeal to send their three-year-old son to America for cancer treatment. They are now attempting to raise enough money to travel to Cincinnati to get Charlie treatment that the NHS doesn't provide."
Thus proving that "free" = "what you pay for it."
