Let the loony lefties and the BBC bleat...it is what they are famed for and really the only thing they are truly good at(well, they have had plenty of practice, to be fair).
These people are the first to complain about how the NHS is being left short of funds(it isn't shortage of funds which cripples the NHS, it is the layers of bureaucracy and people who do little to improve patient care but are paid eye watering salaries)
Try going to America or Australia and getting treatment for injuries/illness....you have to pay. they will have someone rendering aid, but on the other side of the trolley there will be an administrative assistant taking your insurance/credit card details.
Even if you go on the continent...the treatment is not free...so why should it be free to all comers here?
It is called the
National Health Service not the international health service.
It is for the people who have paid into the sytem...anyone else better have travel insurance which covers ill health.
The NHS is not rigorous enough in the collection of moeny owed to them for trearment
