Really? What would you choose to compare it with then?

Trust me when I say that it is only when you move overseas that you realise just what you really have with the NHS. Free comprehensive healthcare that enables you to purchase competitively priced private health (it has to be to sell) to suit your needs should you wish. The best of both worlds enabling you to not have to choose between treatment and food, health provision and selling the kids into slavery. It also enables the bullying of drugs manufacturers into offering reasonable prices - just check what the US and even Australia pays for some drugs. I'd take it over anything else. Sure, it needs some polishing and a kick up the arse every now and again as well as getting rid of poxy admin suits but it does the job.
