    My problem with the NHS is that if it fucks up, you can't go somewhere else. You instead have to pay for the NHS AND for a private hospital if you're (understandably) pissed off with the NHS.
    NHS does have its (many) problems. America needs to learn from the UK's mistake and form a socialized system that is more efficient and effective.

    We also need to learn from what NHS does correctly, since our health care system is FAR more fucked up than yours, as difficult as it may be for you to believe.

    That said, I also believe that kittens should never, ever have to pay for their own health care.

    Yeah, as many problems as NHS has, the American system has more--again, it leaves 15% of the entire American population (50 million people) totally uninsured, so NHS's problems like waiting lists or whatever are fairly minor in comparison.

    ...and god only knows how much of that 85% "insured" population is severely under-insured. I've heard horror stories of people who thought they had insurance not being able to get necessary medical treatment, and coverage of services by insurance is getting worse and worse.
