Bravo, both my parents lives have been saved multiple times by the NHS.

When Max bit me I had a six hour wait but then I had a two day stay in hospital, an operation under general anesthetic, follow up visits and six weeks physiotherapy, all for the cost of the bus fare.

I'm a member of the poor but working class' and would no doubt not get health insurance in the US.
I am terrified by their system and stories of people worrying WHILE HAVING A HEART ATTACK over how they are going to pay for their care. It is a ridiculous, frightening and wrong state of affairs.
