In most cases they pay taxes MUCH LOWER than ours so the medical insurance they pay only really brings everything into line cost wise as our FREE nhs!...The actual care level in the NHS these days is far less than it ever was..basically because we now Train nurses at College rather than on wards..so that when they actually have to deal with REAL patients they havn't a ruddy clue how to approach them in a compassionate and caring manner!
Leaving aside my "Spoiled Brat" attitude, as an out patient!..I recently had to endure diabolical treatment of my Father in 3 local hospitals as an In Patient who suffered from Parkinsons Disease....not only was the basic care he received disgusting...the level of understanding of his condition, and admisistration of medication was pathetic!..This was someone who served in the forces, paid into the system all his life.and quite frankly was treated like dog muck by the NHS!! And yes i'm actually complaining about basic nursing standards here..not just administration!
The NHS as we once knew it..does not exist anymore!
So you get down from your ruddy high horse and return to the real world!!
