I'm married to a British guy. He didn't come here for the medical system, trust me. His family members won't even think about setting foot in this country for a VISIT without purchasing "travel health insurance" and they also wouldn't trade their system for ours, any day of the week. We are ALREADY rationing health care in this country. Wake up and get a clue. The Brits would be the first ones to tell you the NHS isn't perfect, but if they tried to abolish it, there would be rioting in the streets. Uh… I’m married to a British guy.

I don't even believe you anymore, Lisa. Now you all of a sudden you happen know someone from the UK? Earlier you said your 77 year old mother was your source of "proven" information about the NHS, but now you directly know someone from that area. Sorry, but I'm done arguing about this unless you have some real facts you'd like to contribute. hearsay [-sei] noun

that which one has been told about by others but for which one has otherwise no evidence.

I've done alot of my own research as well and the ones who are happy with the NHS are more than likely people who can afford the extra insurance who don't have to rely on NHS for all their medical needs. Take a number because that's what you will just figured into the budgeted,rationed healthcare system. Oh and don't forget to get a 2nd job so you can afford the 55% tax deduction. That’s not heresay that’s from someone that was there.

Are we to believe that hospital staff neglect to properly do their jobs when a country relies on a universal plan? Such a claim seems a bit extreme to me... Furthermore, have you actually seen these filthy hospitals for yourself or obtained this information from a credible source? Or are you just perpetuating gross rumors and stereotypes about other countries? These statements sound like nothing more than discrimination and desperate attempts to prove that universal health care doesn't work. Lisa, I think we'd all be more than happy to debate the health care issue with you, but please, don't rely on hearsay to confirm your points. What exactly do dirty bathrooms have to do with the NHS?
