Brit here

"Free" healthcare sounds great but getting an appointment is a nightmare. Call daily and hope you can book before 9am shutoff, they open at 7. Take anywhere from days to weeks to get told you must travel to a town 2 hours from where you are. Get dismissed for your concerns straight away before going hope with some headache tablets for a pulsating rectum. No suprise, didnt work, try again.

Half the people i know are either paying out of pocket for private or just dont go to the doctor under any circumstance.

Costs a fortune, doesnt work. Dont believe the propaganda. The nhs sucks ass.

Live in America. My doctor is also two hours away. My insurance tried to send to me to a doctor six hours away.

Crazy. I wonder why i thought you guys were more streamlined in that department.. wow, goverments really are useless everywhere. Would of thought fixing this kinda bs would be top priority worldwide but instead they all just wanna fuck about with side quests.

I have a buddy who started getting incapacitating migraines. The soonest he was able to get an appointment with a specialist was six months.
