[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 373541"] I think you have to read about the history of the NHS up to the present day to decide. We can moan all we like but read what it was like for people before it's inception. If you were mentally ill then you would reside in an asylum for the rest of your life. (Being promiscuous was considered a mental illness as was a baby out of wedlock if the family thought so and I have met people who were incarcerated in their teens and stayed there for life). If you were old and could not take care of yourself then you were sent to the workhouse. If you couldn't afford care then you relied on charity. "Whether knowing what we know now Britain would follow the sam path towards a universal health care system is anyone's guess". [url=http://www.nhshistory.net/shorthistory.htm]http://www.nhshistory.net/shorthistory.htm[/url] I had a bad experience during a recent stay in hospital and the care left a lot to be desired but that does not mean that everyone in the NHS is out to get you. We also need to know that more people are being born every day than are dying so the number of people relying on the NHS is going up. We read in some places that the NHS crisis is because of the ageing population. We have a right to get old and rely on the NHS as does everyone else. [/QUOTE]
