Some NHS notes to the US fo A

[gyzmo]

Following this little row that has brewed up in the US about chaning to a social healthcare system, I've heard a few disparaging things said against the NHS and our healthcare system in general.

 

 

1. The healthcare system works fine - it's the government that screws it up by treating it like a private profit making corporation

 

2. Most of your healthcare providers have been prosecuted or investigated for fraud and other dodgy dealings.

 

3. Pearly white teeth, though pretty, are unhealthy. Teeth are supposed to be a bit off white. Even your own dentists tell you that.

 

4. Donald Rumsfeld, I think, said that he would have a better chance of survival with cancer in America compared to the UK. He obviously forgot to mention that it's only if you can afford it in the US. At least everyone in the UK can get some treatment.

 

5. If you spent less time in wars, weapons development and space exploration, you'd probably find that you have enough money to pay for social healthcare.

 

6. Maccy Ds. Stop it.
