In the short time since I returned to England after a decade away, I've been invited, twice, by the NHS to participate in medicals. I'm impressed by this level of proactivity. And as I'm writing, I'm listening to a certain Mr B. Sanders bemoaning how the US spends far more than we do on health, and for an inferior system.
I watched an Aljazeera documentary on the UK health service recently. I learned a lot about the nuts and bolts of providing free health care, and if I didn't before, now believe our doctors deserve great respect.
This is not the case in countries where Big Pharma makes the rules. And rakes in all the profits to the detriment of national health.
Long live the NHS.
