Health Care in the U.K.

Having recently fought and beat kidney cancer, I can tell you that I have a new lease on life. I’m confident that American medicine saved my life. A few prayers didn’t hurt either.

It appears, however, that patients in the U.K. don’t have it as good as we do acrosss the pond. I thought national health care was the answer to the health care “crisis"? Maybe not.

Check out this article in the Kidney Cancer Association newsletter.

“We pay a percentage of our earnings into a National Health Service that we are told is “free at the point of need”. Yet, at the point you need it, a group of unelected bureaucrats tell you that facing death doesn’t make you an exceptional enough case to warrant funding the drugs you need.”
