Obarmy care you lot are fucked The level of stupidity here is almost off the scale. What did they die from, if I might ask? I am willing to bet that in the United States they would have died from the same illness.. possibly sooner if they didn't have insurance or the money to pay. In addition, after passing away you would be on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical costs. Get lost, idiot. |

"as one of the few Canadians opposed to universal healthcare and gun control I can tell you socialized medicine is a big fat cash cow,its inefficiency leaves you waiting for hours in the emergency room also it drives up your taxes income and retail, as for gun control at least we scrapped our gun registry" when we were having the "debate" i read an article about canadians who come to the US for care and they begged us not to allow socialized medicine in the US as they didn't know where they would go for care. oh boy what a mess. How many Americans die because they just cant afford treatment or surgery for a treatment? it must run into the tens of thousands.. At least in the UK you will always get the surgery or treatment even if you have to wait a while...and if it requires emergency treatment you will get it right away... I have NEVER heard of anyone denied treatment. You go to the emergency room, you are in. You may be billed, but our local level 4 trauma center does NOT turn anyone away, ever. And you will get good care. Having said that, I am someone who has worked in both nursing homes and hospitals here and in Germany. There is no question whatsover in my mind that any sane person avoids hospitals if they can, but if you need care, AMERICAN CARE IS VASTLY SUPERIOR. And no family needs to leave their home because of one family members illness? |

The NHS is not the worst thing ever...but it is the best of the worst. Socialism always leads to malpractice, corruption and carelessness. It is one of the reasons I left the UK, I cannot stand the caving in to socialism there...everything is run by the loony left and nobody has the bloody spine to say anything. I tried and was slapped down for it, so I left. Good riddance, anyone who has a brain is leaving the UK now - it is a sinking ship, I give it another 5-10 years for civil unrest.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31439359 United Kingdom 01/03/2013 06:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In 2011, 8,583 Americans were killed with firearms. Meanwhile in the UK, the National Health Service is killing 1,000 people a month or 12,000 a year. Quoting: davvi We’re not talking natural or inevitable deaths, but preventable deaths that were caused by an overburdened and poorly managed health care system. The study found that something went wrong with the care of 13 per cent of the patients who died in hospitals. An error only led to a death in 5.2 per cent of these cases, which was the equivalent to nearly 12,000 preventable deaths in hospitals in England every year. 13 percent and 5 percent of deaths are far higher numbers than anything you will find among gun owners. And here’s what that looks like. The Office for National Statistics figures also showed that 43 people who starved to death, 287 people were recorded by doctors as being malnourished when they died in hospitals; there were 558 cases where doctors recorded that a patient had died in a state of severe dehydration in hospitals 21,696 hospital patients and 1,100 care home residents were suffering from the blood poisoning when they died. In July, an inquest heard that a young man who died of dehydration at a leading hospital rang 999 for police because he was so thirsty. [link to frontpagemag.com] one of the things i have against the brits, they have a hideous healthcare system and they know it. yet they are the same people who call us "barbaric" for not wanting the same crap here as they have there, and they are the same people who tell us "get rid of your guns." if socialized medicine doesn't work in a little country of some 60 million, how will it work in a country of 314 million? doesn't 'blood poisoning ' = septicaemia which is pretty fatal even when it's treated fast and the study showed that 1:10 hospital deaths involoved an error that doesn't mean the 'error' caused the death there are errors and sometimes fatal ones - no doubt but the figures you have quoted don't back your arguement for having guns i'm afraid . |

They say the biggest part of the problem is all the equal opportunity pakies and africans that are now working in hospitals. These shitty third world immigrants step off the bananna boat right out of the stane age, don't undertsand even basic concepts of sanitation, don't wash their hands, never clean anything to even african hospital standards. So consequently they've created conditions similar to a hospital in Uganda or the Congo right in the heart of England. The hospitals are filthy, shitty and full of filthy and shitty workers. So infections, horrible diseases and general third world ignorance and incompetence kill thousands every year. All so the limey government can say they're being more inclusive with the minorities. |
