hi, Is it possible for citizens of the United Kingdom to get any their National Health Services (NHS) health coverage benefits transferred to them if they move outside the UK? Can they get any reimbursement for medical fees incurred outside of the UK?
"The US is the world's richest nation and the only industrialised democracy that does not provide healthcare coverage to all its citizens." - BBC News, 26 February 2010
One simply has to Google the phrase "Life expectancy" to see that the USA doesn't even feature within the top 30 list of nations (it's actually number 38, below Greece, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Chile and Cuba). This is truly appalling given the GDP of the USA, and every American should be ashamed of that fact.
These figures aren't biased either, as they come from the USA's own "CIA World Factbook 2009", and the 2006 United Nations World Population Prospects report.
The World Health Organization also ranks the health care system in the USA at number 37, below Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Dominica.
Isn't the time long overdue that America wakes up to the fact that it doesn't provide its citizens with a health care system that is even close to those of other developed industrial western nations?
The NHS in my opinion is the best health care system you can ask for, it insures everyone for free and not just the rich, what more could you ask for?
u know why? the NHS reflest the British ppl at its best Liberal fair just n always caring for the weakest ppl in our society am so so happy my little country was British colony n Not a usa one or i might have ened up in the usa God what a scary thought even thatcher tried to dismantle the NHS in many ways the nature of the ppl in this country will Not allow that to happen when i hear ppl talk about usa the lamd of the free i want to scream Come over here n taste what freedon really is
what else can u expect man see the brutality of us penal systems channel 4 Diabolical the highest murders rapes incect n police Brutality of Any western country by far what have they got that is good over there? we should Never fight their wars Britain owes the FA what comes out of it British troops are getting the bad name of the us army they ARE Very different i KNOW i was a school boy during the troubles in Cyprus we Never feared the army they Never mistreated us just played football with us
the NHS is great but not perfect, but it covers everybody it even includes heart and liver transplants for free? and care for the rest of your life, its difficult to beat.
more than that man they even look after BUBA pasions after they screwed up BUBA gets the money NHS foots the bill something i hate not the NHS looking after x BUBA pations But BUBA should be made to pay Not the NHS but great service
NHS in the UK is unfit for Purpose !.Zip / Post code Lottery at best, and a means of Culling the old and sick (burden on Society !! )......Do a quick search on the New World Order (NWO) and see how deep this rabbit hole goes....
The NHS isnt perfect but its better having a safetynet than none as in the US. The 16 to 18 percent without health insurance are scared to fall ill. In the UK the figures are reversed where only 15 percent of population opt for private insurance. Surely if it was as bad as you paint it more people would choose to opt out?

Life expectancy in Britain is better that in the US. The only time thi changes is when we go on joint millitary operations with them.

Because we should turn to a system where you can only get certain treatments if you can afford it... Hm... /=
