"NHS could get WORSE from 2013"

[Skean Dhude]

Paul,

The issue is that we have been using the wrong method for so long that changes will impact everyone in some way. For example those whio have been paying for x years have nothing to claim from for their 'investment' Such is the way with all socialist projects.

You also have to consider that with the removal of the NHS there will be considerable tax savings. The insurance costs should come down and it will become affordable. It is so expensive now because they get you in quickly. No 3 mionth waits between visits. It will be more like a vets. A single visit, scans, X-rays etc and perhaps a diagnosis. Even if not a specialist will be contacted in a few days. Compare that with the current situation.

Finally, it isn't like you get a full service now. A bunch of pen pushers decides what you get and what you don't. The modern doctor expects you to diagniose yourself. Since my old doctore left his replacment keeps asking what do you want to do next. At first I though there was no issue before I realised he didn't know he was genuinely asking my opinion. My car mechanic doesn't do that. I want a doctor to give me options and recommendations not ask for my advice.

Finally, the only way you get free NHS service is is someone else pays for it but doesn't get it themselves. A situation we don't want to reciprocate when we are the only ones with food after a collapse.
