All of my experiences with the NHS have been fantastic - never, not even once, was the cost of any of my treatment called into question. Healthcare is a RIGHT and I seriously cannot understand why people call it evil.

ANDREW LANSLEYS integrity has been BOUGHT & PAID FOR by CARE UK !

Here's another voter calling for Lansley to be SACKED!

@MegaPaul71 I don't understand this? there are private doctors as well, do and see one then?

@BeingNobody1956 I agree that health care should be available to rich and poor alike.the nhs is the best thing about the uk its free to all.Ok it does have waiting lists for non emergencies but anything life threatening is dealt with fast.I was fixed up wjthin 1 hr of admission after a heart attack,no private healthcare could do better.It could work in the states,you pay health insurance just switch it to tax and it will fund it in the same way.

@MegaPaul71 Well, I had to wait about a fortnight for a £160,000 operation. I'd call that a brilliant service.

If your wrist was seriously bad, they would have seen you sooner.

@MegaPaul71 i know all about waiting in A&E with broken arms and fingers but lets face it (and i know this from went both bones in my arm snapped completely) if u were in complete agony and screaming (or bleeding in pretty much any way) thn u wud b seen to straight away. where as in america thy will LITERALLY make u wait and fill out forms if u have a bullet hole in your chest before thy do ANYTHING.

The NHS is Superb?

Try waiting in an A&E department for 6 hours..with a broken wrist...Try to find and NHS dentist...i've had more luck finding rocking horse shit...

if you a child/unemployed/immigrant it's great..if you earn a wage...fucking good luck to you...you'll need it!!

Yes, well wake up people because right now Cameron is trying like hell to push through a bill to privatise the NHS service and its virtually hitting media blackout. The American system is coming here whether we like it or not. check out ukuncut on facebook. protest are going on under a media blackout!

@IsisStarlights Before you say anything, yes, you didn't use the word hate, but you might as well have.

[IsisStarlights]

@BeingNobody1956 If you are an American, then you know for a fact that we're not all like that, so stop generalizing. Sheesh. Why did you even bother to serve in the army if you hate Americans so much? (And yes, I know how good the VA is.)

[BeingNobody1956]

@IsisStarlights well, considering the fact that I am an American, a US Army veteran, I can say that I do know why we argue. As a veteran I alrady have socialized health care and it is good. I wish every human being on earth had the health care that I have
