The problem is easily solved if only the government knew that the common sense solution is much higher taxation for every working BRIT.

They should have told them if they are overweight or smokers they go way down on the list because they are going to die sooner anyway.

Well then that applies to cops, firemen, people who drive cars, people who drink...

Where are all the defenders of single payer? We have threads for days with people defending Canada, Britain and Cuba

But when this shit happens they go scurrying to any hole they can find. Single payer run by government is crap and this is proof.

This is a Country with only 65 million people and they are screwed. Try 320 million?

A lot of this probably could have been avoided but governments, unlike businesses and markets, don't have the foresight.

They don't have to.

They can't fail.

You automatically assume that the biased crap you dig up online is true.

Britain's health system is far more functional than the chaos here.
You just can't be bothered to look at factual sources.
Dig a little deeper for the truth, not just what makes you feel good.

Ahh...so governments can be stupid just because they can? Well, then...why should anyone trust their government? Would you trust a stupid person with all your assets?

Anyone who believes their government deserves whatever screw job they get.

Yeah...what's the wait time for non-emergency hospital care in this country? Why won't you dig that truth out for us in our "chaotic" health care environment?

The chaos here, at this time, is 100% due to ACA - and people like you who supported it.

Fear not, it will get better now that the Kenyan Krock of Krap is gone.

Wrong

The ACA is flawed - mainly due to sabotage.
It could work very well, under the right circumstances.

If many on here traveled to a forest,
they probably wouldn't see wood or trees.

Yeah, implement it in some banana republic dictatorship where they don't care if you live or die and ACA is just the ticket.

In the real world, it did the only thing it could do, was designed to do - FAIL.

Much Like Hillary.

Two things:

1. My bride is a British citizen. Where the hell do you think this system works effectively?
2. Even if their system works, which is does not, what is the population of UK compared to the US?
