The raw ideology on this board is mind boggling.

The facts are that wait times are not just a little longer but significantly longer in Britain than in the US and survival rates for cancer patients are much lower.  That anyone would deny this at this stage suggests a total immunity to evidence.

If you open a world map of health care, you might find other states than US and UK. Among the other ones, you might find the Scandinavian ones and France. Maybe you should have a look. France uses to consider the UK cover as not being an example at all.

The WHO rates the US quality of care as better than the French or Scandanavian systems, btw.

For those who have access to it, absolutely.
