Britain's universal healthcare
sucks. Some highlights:
- A 2011 report demonstrated that the average cancer survival rate was 71.18% in the USA as compared to 54.48% in England.
- In Britain a shocking 4 million people languish on waiting lists according to official sources in a population of scarcely over 65 million
- 25% of British cardiac patients die waiting for treatment, and an investigation by a British newspaper found that delays in treatment for colon and lung cancer patients have been so long that 20% of cases were incurable by the time they finally received care
- NHS's budget has tripled since 1990
- According to the OECD Britain has the lowest number of doctors per thousand population in the advanced world
I am not defending crony capitalist system we have here, but socialism fails at medicine just like it fails at everything else.
