Some people do talk bow locks. I spent 5 years working for a Canadian company mostly on US soil some 25 years ago and I had experience of their medical care. The medical staff, as with most countries with proper training are first rate, and to slag off the medical care overall is unfair and unrealistic, that is true to the NHS and the US system, but the system we both operate are not fit for the purpose they were originally envisaged to cope with.
The NHS is a lumbering dinosaur, way to much money that should be spent on frontline services is squandered to pander to useless wasters, over the top management excess, poor project management and placating Unions who are still out of control.
As a tax payer I want the NHS to be what it was always meant to be, a free at point of use system regardless of your position in society or financial situation, SO LONG AS YOU ARE BRITISH OR FROM A COUNTRY WITH A PRO-RATA AGREEMENT.
However as a tax payer I also want the system to be efficient, provide first rate medical care and be what we all need it to be, if it is the envy of the world so be it, but this should not be a desire determining how it is run.
As such the NHS should be a management system, that decrees how medical services are provided, that establishes costs for treatments bla bla bla and pays out to those providing those services on our behalf. It is up to the organisations running those services to do so at a profit and to a standard decreed by law and protected by law.
As such all hospitals etc should be sold off and run as private businesses.
