@Kasz, yeah, that last article you posted, where the woman who was on private health got rejected from the using NHS services actually really pissed me off when I first heard about it.

That's not what the NHS is for, dammit, and it pisses me off so much when I hear/read about these things.

But, the NHS won't be like this forever. Every time a story comes out about things like this, more and more pressure builds up against the Government to do something about it.

I think it will become a key issue of the next election.

Does this not defeat your argument of the NHS not doing this though?

Because they do.... quite a fair amount i'd say.

Also interestingly.... doctors in the US are largely democrats to my knowledge.
