I'm confused and need the aid of American peeps to answer this.
Why is a NHS system bad again?
Okay, in my country (England) if you can afford to go private, you go private anyway. If not, the NHS pays for your treatment. Thats how it works. All the NHS does is enjsure no matter what background status, religion - whatever - you are entitled to healthcare, free at the very list.
6 weeks for a dentist?
This baffles me. My dad phoned up my dentist (does both private and NHS) and asked for a check up. I'll admit I have bad teeth before we start; when my mum divorced from my dad I went for two years without brushing them (it was the freedom to do them when I wanted factor) and I'm suffering because of that NOW. 2 weeks later I saw the dentist. I paid abut £20 for treatment. 2 weeks later I came back for two fillings. I paid nothing for them (this would have been £40 if so) because I was on benefits and entitled to free treatment. In fact, Brittish teeth are pretty good BECAUSE of the NHS, so this baffles me completely. ^_-
Eldery neglect?
If your old, chances are you aren't working. If your not working, you either have money for treatment already or none. Your entitled to free healthcare, ease your pains.
Only waiting list is the 6 months for operations. And this is because we're overcrowded, nothing more or less. Too many people, not enough doctors. Incidently, until recently all the doctors and nurses were moving to America to get better pay (^_-) and now they get better pay here; can we the people we trained back again America? We spent more time training doctors and nurses for you then ourselves. Even so, half of Americans by figures I've read in the past few years don't earn enough for private treatment standards anyway. Private treatmenet anyway in this country is cheap THANKS to NHS.
On top of this 50% of ALL dieases only became known once the NHS was set up. Because every illness could now seek a doctor to treat it. medically, the NHS made more advances when it opened is doors then any other set up before it. Its changed now but then it was a big thing.
