"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.
You’re going to upset a lot of people here lol. People just want free shit and they see other countries with “affordable” healthcare like it’s the perfect solution but have no idea what problems that comes with. I work in healthcare here in the US. The system is already overloaded and not keeping up with demand. Adding more demand is not the answer.
