Yes, it is called healthcare in the USA. I have a few friends working in Europe or living in Canada who have punted on the local system and flew to the US to get their medical needs promptly taken care of.

I remember them making the NHS a significant part of the summer Olympics opening ceremony. I was living there at the time and kept questioning why would they celebrated it so much, when it was crap.

I know people who are on government healthcare. They are always having some procedure done, use the emergency room as their primary care and yet never pay for anything.
My family has good insurance through work, but still pay a $1000s each year in deductibles.

One danger of centralized healthcare that reared its ugly head during the COVID craziness was the refusal of many healthcare professionals to prescribe treatments like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine. Even with a prescription, some pharmacists would not fill them.
Instead of debating the effectiveness of these treatments, the orders to not prescribe them came down and were mostly driven by politics. And when Florida was distributing monoclonal antibodies with success, the Feds stepped in and took that over.

No, I think it's because decent human beings don't believe that people who can't afford healthcare should die instead.

Healthcare in the same fashion as the Postal service or the DMV .
What could possibly go wrong? They are the hallmarks of efficiency !!!

It's coming to a theater near you soon.
mRNA, nanotechnology, AI.. look who owns the patents/are banking on this & then ask yourself what do healthcare facilities & staff look like in the future?
USGovt is taking over healthcare, banking, farming, technology right under our noses.

After a series of leaks revealed emergency waiting room times up to five times higher than the publicly available figures, the NHS promised to begin making the “hidden” data available.
British Health Secretary Steve Barclay said the NHS would publish the “real” number beginning in April in an effort to improve “transparency.”
Remember when the Soviets lied about radiation figures during Chernobyl? They had the real numbers and the propaganda numbers.
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Britons should be outraged, but they’re conditioned to think the NHS is better than every alternative, so they’ll take what they’re given.

If they are such decent human beings, why don’t they pay for it themselves, instead of trying to make American taxpayers do it?
Speaking of decent human beings, would a decent human being that is imminently capable of working and paying their own way, want the American taxpayer to foot the bill for their healthcare?

Collapsing? It won't collapse because they don't give a frick no matter how many people died and the UK seems to want it based on their voting habits.

The allure of free shite is like a magnetic pull. But our system is far better than theirs. My daughter lives there, and I know what kind of care her family gets and the wait times. It sucks. But they think it’s free. Of course, it’s not.
The UK system is better for the bums. The US system is better for the working people. The US system would be much improved if they would make employer provided health insurance taxable. This would cause people to refuse it and to buy their own. Many choices would emerge, and folks would have health insurance tailored to what they need.
The only part of the US system of health care that runs great is the part which includes non covered elective surgeries. Breast implants, lasik surgery, facelifts, tummy tucks, aol of these are becoming cheaper and better and all of the mandated insurance covered stuff is becoming more and more expensive.

I remember when our family doctor made house calls, leather black/brown bag and all. He was a good man. Highly educated as well. I did not live in the “rurality” posted by the medical “Geographer” earlier. That’s just the way life was and things worked in the mid-1950s.

They Globalist version of ObamaCare being played out before our eyes. All you DEMOCRAT COMMUNIST SCUMBAGS, the chickens are about to come home to roost in the USA, can’t wait to see y’all punk asses with your tail between your legs with no supplies when the shite hits the fan, bunch of fruitcakes
