> So is it really a successful system if the only way to make the budget work is letting folks die? The NHS doesn't get to make that decision. The problem is that it has seen literally a decade of budget cuts, despite a rapidly aging population. Compared to countries like France and Germany, the UK has far fewer doctors and nurses per capita. The Tories are intentionally trying to make the NHS fail by essentially strangling it as they really want to privatize it. As the decades before have shown, the NHS can operate perfectly well when it is supplied with a proper budget.
