The Myth of the British National Health Servi

[El Kabong]

Oh this will be fun....I won't comment because I already know Beanz will whine about me being American....but I sure will watch this clusterfuck of a thread. (It'll be a clusterfuck because how people react, I actually agree with you X).

If it was not for the NHS my Mrs would be dead. If it was not for the NHS my daughter would have died whilst her mother was in a coma. If it wasn't for the NHS then my three grandchildren would not be here. None of that has anything to do with whining or you being American, but you know according the Brock the NHS is piss. So sit back and wait for the clusterfuck if that is your idea of an evening well spent.

Well then, ALL HAIL the NHS and never let anyone ever question it, the funding of it, or the policies of it.


I've had sick family members too Beanz, they didn't have an NHS to look after them, they ended up quite alright. In fact I would not be here if it was not for a charity which allowed for my Grandmother to have a full and healthy life....In return for such a gift it is my honor to belong to and support that very same charity paying it forward to other families. Sadly my Grandmother is just now in Hospice and does not have much of a journey left in her earthly life, but at her age she can look back on a life well lived...she defied the odds. And not due to some government entitlement/burden on the taxpayer but due to the free will and good charity of willing citizens. Good can come from other sources than just the government.



Healthcare and Mental Healthcare are very difficult issues to handle. You will ALWAYS have the healthy paying for the sickly, you will ALWAYS have the young paying for the old. And those in great need of care likely aren't able to afford the care they need. My only issue is that government mandates, coercion at the point of a gun/threat of jail are not needed to get people to help their fellow man. But That is just my belief.
