I have listened to first hand stories of how because of their age, they are often bumped from the list or made to wait longer in order to receive treatment. They come here and naught a complaint.
dmk | But do you know of anyone in Britain who was refused critical treatment by the NHS and who died as a result?
Which is what you insinuated in your earlier post tying to knock "the government"!
And presumably those Brits you met on the cruise were:
A) not critically ill
B) able to afford to travel the world to find health care
C) could have paid for private treatment in the UK for a lot less money
The health care issue revolves around providing care to people who CANNOT afford it.
Not wealthy Brits who fly to the US and pay exorbitant prices, nor rich Republican candidates whose campaigns are funded by insurance companies.
