there are times when the NHS fails people, but they are pretty rare, by and large, most people here have no problems when they need healthcare, it would be stupid of anyone to say that thoose rare failures are anything more than rare, just as it would be silly for anyone to say that there are never failures, you will get failures with any system though, public or private, theres still gonna be times when systems fail people.

Here is the problem.

They intentional fail people.  On purpose.  People who have paid their tax dollars specifically for this.  And it's not that rare.

It's cost cutting measures... they constantly drag their feet to avoid new expensive medicine.

Plenty of drugs are just straight banned from older folk.

 


well, we need to review that system clearly, im in favour of more investment in things like that, so i would say, yes the NHS should get thoose drugs, the debate should be, how do we pay for that, if there are parts of the NHS that have funding they dont need so much of, we can simply re-alocate thoose funds, if the NHS needs more cash, then we need to see where we can cut money to do that.
