Bollocks. Anyone can buy painkillers from a hospital chemist. My fiance can't swallow chalky tablets so I bought her capsules instead. The chemist is not open 24/7 because...its run by an outside company (they don't tell that story) who only want to trade during office hours. As for the NHS, my fiance went to the local Doctor for treatment for a headache, within 2 hours she was in a local hospital getting a CT scan, within 12 hours she'd had emergency neurosurgery that saved her life. Job done.

Fact. US child mortality rates are higher and adult life span is shorter than most advance UHC's nations including the UK. The US spends approximately 50% more on healthcare yet is rated only37%in healthcare by the W.H.O France being number 1 the UK rated 17th (but France spends more than the UK). Fact.Most US citizens filing for bankruptcy in the US were middle-class, well-educated homeowners who had medical insurance. Number of uninsured Americans rises to 50.7 million. USA TODAY.All Facts

@callumbm A&E/ paramedics are AMAZING! I have a relative who has been in and out of hospitals for about three years now (approx once every 2 months for emergency care, more for operations and physio etc). They have always been professional and helpful and have saved her life when she was ready to turn down treatment when she didn't realise how bad her condition was getting on more than one occasion. One of my favourite things about Britain, seriously.

@gshooting interestingly, i have read the NHS horror stories. However, when i looked into the stories more deeply, they invariably turned out to have been when the care was subcontracted to a private health firm.

@gshooting your unemployment rate is nothing to brag about when there is less than a 0.1% difference.

how bad would unemployment be if it wasnt for the NHS?

@gshooting Apart from that, the happiness i was referring to is a study that was carried out including 100s of different factors (including mental health issues, life expectancy, levels of education and illness, the proportion of personal bankruptcies ect)

while we're on the subject of personal bankruptcies, healthcare in america has been accredited for causing more bankruptcies than anything else, what an achievement, eh?

This is utter rubbish. I was in A&E last week with abdomen pains. I saw the triage nurse in 10 minutes and got 2 co-codamol tablets for the pain. They didn't work so I saw her again in 20 minutes and got tramadol. When I was seen by a doctor one of the first things he did was give me morphine to totally kill the pain. And this was on a Friday night!!

@jazzx251 In a pharmacy you can buy up to 100 paracetamol tablets over the counter without a prescription

Here in the UK - if you need paracetamol, it's 15p for 24 pills at Tesco (around 10c). You are limited to 2 packs though.
