Yeah the nationalised healthcare here in the UK sucks.

Last night my wife got seen by an emergency dentist at 21:45 an it cost £18.50 ($31).

My grandmother was on the waiting list for her hip replacement for 11 days and that cost... $0

I broke my ankle and it was X-ray'ed cast and dealt with in 2 hours from being picked up by the ambulance and it cost...$0

My wife had three C-sections over the space of a decade an that cost...$0 (no wait either!)

My wife has had two other surgeries and they cost $0 and the waiting time was less than 3 weeks.

Oh and our medicines cost a max of £104 a year (if you get a year prescription certificate) and for most people they are free. That's for ANY amount of them.

Yeah nationalisation of healthcare is absolutely fucking awful especially here in London...
