The UK system isn't amazing, unless you're evidently having an "emergency", you can be waiting for hours (once waited for 4 hours with a broken wrist for example) - that being said, the triage is pretty solid and you'll cycle through intermediate steps in the meantime.
I think the best part is not having the mental burden of potentially going bankrupt afterwards...
- DanBC 8y agoThere are severe problems with the English NHS, but we need to remember that it costs the tax payer a lot less than the US system. That's the thing I don't understand: they pay more in tax, and they pay more in insurance, and they don't get universal coverage and have worse outcomes across a range of measures.
