From the point of view of this health care consumer/client/customer/ patient, the NHS in the UK actually works quite well. Visits to my GP are free and I can get an appointment at 2 days' notice (and if necessary, I can go to see the doctor with no notice whatsoever as long as I do so early enough in the morning), I pay a flat annual fee of about £100 that covers all my NHS prescription medication, the other NHS services I've used (A&E, walk-in centres) have worked well and within reasonably timeframes. Could it be better? Of course, there is room for improvement; but it actually works quite well. So calling it 'a disaster by any objective standard' is something I cannot agree with at all. > =c= // Christian Brunschen _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
