haha yeah ok

well, with the government being busy bailing out failed banks, paying for the "war on terror" and trying to spy on everyone (they might be a terrorist!), the NHS doesn't get enough of attention.

I agree the NHS should get more attention. The neglect has been there for years before the recent financial crisis - of which the worst is probably still yet to come. I wonder how long it will be before the cutbacks filter through? and what state will the NHS end up in then?

I think the concept of the NHS is one of the things that made our country great. We need to protect it.

@jjenson2006 What?! Look pal, the NHS may not be perfect but at least we don't turf out someone who isn't able to pay or doesn't have insurance. In fact the UK has a thriving private insurance industry alongside the NHS and that suits us just fine!

Looks like they deleted the scenes where the people who needed urgent care found out that they have to wait a very long time for an MRI, so they took a trip to America to have it done there at their own cost.

Its interesting how attitudes change.

The first thing mum does when the child crawls into the coal box is smack its behind.

Sorry, while I encourage discussion of my videos I can't approve your comment because of the bad language and the fact that my channel is aimed at and used by young people.

Please feel free to re-post without the profanity. :)

Do you think the NHS in this country works? I thinks Robert's point is that it may as well be a private health care system, like they have in the US, because of the restrictions that are placed on the NHS by the government - not damning the people who work in it.

Absolutely Brilliant, we should try to have one of those National Health Services in this country, at the moment most people don't have a dentist, and get nothing for free from their doctor. The country has no sense of society, the rich are too greedy, and the doctors just do what the government wants, which is to fiddle figures, and ignore illness. They're shutting the hospitals.

Oh for the NHS in this country, it would be great.
