Liz Truss has received a stark insight into the dire state of the NHS after new figures showed millions of people in England were facing often record delays to access vital healthcare.

One leading NHS expert said the long waits for care, diagnostic tests and hospital beds showed that Britain’s new prime minister “inherits an NHS in critical condition”.


The total number of people in England waiting for hospital treatment rose again to a record high of 6.8 million at the end of July – almost one in eight of the population.

For all you UHC and Sanders Supporters, is this really what you want for our country of 330+ million Americans? Everything on paper the left promotes sounds great, the end result however is a disaster Once implemented however it is too late to change. Think about it

??? nothing you posted here matters to people wanting a better healthcare system here in America and are own version of UHC . . . nothing.
did you really think that retarded triggered post held any honest, logical, factual and or intellectual merit to support your moronic false narrative LMAO
wow that was dumb

UHC goes back long before the Conservatives took over the gov't but that won't stop you from your attempt to trash Conservatives. Try answering the question, is this what you want in this country?
 
I have read that:

1. After World War II, the British people thanked Winston Churchill and then told him to take a hike.

2. The socialized health care system set up by the Labor Party was free.


3. It was the brainchild of a Socialist leader whose father had died before World War II because he could not afford medical care.

5. Foreigners visiting England raved about getting 100% free medical care.

6. How sad that it has fallen into such disrepair.




P.S. This 85-year-old computer illiterate does not know why he accidentally underlined all those sentences, and he does not know how to remove the underlined words. Sorry!

That's how socialism works.

Bread lines.

Hospital lines.

Gasoline lines.

Etc...
 
Has any social system not failed? The people starting to use such survises always grow fater than tax reveues can provide for them.
 
You realize that the Conservative party of the UK has been starving the NHS of funds, with the goal to privatize as much of it as possible.

What's the excuse for Canada?

Specialist physicians surveyed report a median waiting time of 25.6 weeks between referral from a general practitioner and receipt of treatment—longer than the wait of 22.6 weeks reported in 2020. This year’s wait time is the longest wait time recorded in this survey’s history and is 175% longer than in 1993, when it was just 9.3 weeks.

Nearly six months before you get treatment.
 
That’s what happens when you put people in charge who don’t think government works. They prove themselves right.

Has nothing to do with who is in charge.

Socialism always gets worse over time, because there are no market forces to keep costs down and quality up.

FACT
not wanting a suppossed claimed 6.8 million people waiting for something in England is NOT = to wanting or not wanting UHC in here in America

if you or ANYBODY disagrees factually prove otherwise, you wont cause you cant

this is why your failed dishonest false narritive retarded OP is getting made fun of . . its pure stupidity LMAO
keep trying though its awesome!
😂🍿
 
This is what the left must want here in the USA:


 
Has any social system not failed?

Yes. Quite a few currently operating throughout the world. Hell, you don’t have to look that far. The GI Bill, rural electrification, Medicare, Social Security, the FAA, the FCC, my god there are so many that haven’t failed.

You know what fails? ****ing Anarchy.

Most Americans have health insurance of some kind and yet 60% of personal bankruptcies every year (and there are zillions of them) are due to a medical emergency. Take your BS Freshman economist talking points and stuff them.

Those are not bills of socialism. Close, but no cigar.
 
You don’t ever wait in line?
Rarely more than 5 minutes like at a grocery store. Nothing like many people using social services have to endure.

The premise of your argument is that it's better for fewer people to have access to health care so they can receive it quicker.

Were you under the impression that Jeremy Corbyn had been running the NHS for the past decade? The UK has had more than 12 years of uninterrupted Tory rule.
