My Mother is a health visitor, and she says there's too much NHS red tape in an otherwise good concept. Health visitors are unique to Britain, she tells me, and they look after developing babies and give parents advice. As for the welfare state, it paid my way through University by a legal quirk, helped me develop software without worrying about bills, and will hopefully pay me through a Master's degree. [Edit] - It wasn't a legal quirk, I was fully entitled due to illness, it was just unusual.
