I live in the UK.

We all pay about 11% of salary for the National Health Service.

Forget the bullsh!t you may have heard about the NHS.

If you're sick, an ambulance will come and take you to hospital and you will get treatment.

I had a heart attack - ambulance took 10mins to arrive - attended by 3 doctors - clot busting drugs, intensive care - my own nurse for 12 hours, (she sat by my bed).

This all at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Total cost - £0.0p.

I don't know what kills me most: That there have only been 68 views to this man's tragedy in a year or the smile on his face, which denotes a breed of courage unfathomable to most. This is SO typical today...we need to return to simplicity, concern for our neighbor (you notic e he didn't mention any), and making a personal commitment to honesty. Bless you, my man.
