A very short video about the NHS

This is mainly for viewers in the United States of Screwed Up Healthcare.

NHS stands for National Health Service, and this is one man's view of that service. I heard that your media might have been promoting certain other views, so look on this as balance.

This is dedicated to Jamie Kilstein and Alison Kilkenny, who run Citizen Radio. Check it out:

Stop watching Fox News. The NHS is not rationed. Do you honestly think if the NHS was as bad as the American Media portrays, there would be so many British people jumping to its defense? Are you that blinded. The NHS is a wonderful system. Its saved my life, its saved the lives of my family members before as well, and all without bankrupting us. We have the NHS because we believe everyone should be healthy, regardless of whether they can afford to be healthy or not!

Long live the NHS: The one thing the British can still be proud of as a nation.

Here in Norway, you can get treated for pretty much anything if it's not too major. Stiches for example. You go into the emergency reseption and they stich the wound up in a matter of minutes. They don't charge for ambulances. $50 or something for 7 stiches. You can pay for it up to a month later, since everyone in Norway gets free lifeinsurance.

@chickenppox Oh no it's not just europe. Us Australians do it too :)

@ZILOGz80VIDEOS I owe an ambulance $2,000 for a 5 minute ride! It's ridiculous. I had like 4 ambulance lifts that week and I think once in a police car, and I don't think the cop charged me anything, but yeah... Cuba has free healthcare? What's wrong with this country?

Cheaper to buy a gun and a bullet than pay for medical care...
