It’s good the that you love the NHS, but they’ve let me down quite badly, and they’ve not been able to provide for my mum on several occasions and there’s no one that can be held accountable for it. I’ve taken my mum to numerous hospitals and some of them are dirty and disgusting. Charing Cross hospital was the worst, I saw mice running around in the building. I’ve had to pay to go private before (which I really couldn’t afford, it left me in debt), which seems crazy as I pay taxes to fund the NHS too. I personally would prefer to pay for health insurance, knowing that I’m going to be treated well, than pay extra taxes into a bloated and poorly-run service.
@gutz3233 жыл бұрын
@@TheZackkary1 it isn't perfect but you have a choice to pay health insurance instead of use the NHS, but it is great for people who really cannot afford it, atleast they won't be just left to die and the NHS will provide what they can for them, even if that is not quite enough, it is better than dieing without any help at all.
