Comment on Woman, 95, left lying on cold pavement with broken hip for five hours as 'not a priority'
Amoxtli@thelemmy.club 2 weeks agoThe problem with NHS is that it is free, therefore, anybody with a cold, or bruised bone seeks services. This lady wasn’t dying, so she wasn’t priority. It is inefficient to have free services, yet scarce resources to handle those services. The doctors feel like they are underpaid. NHS is like Soviet healthcare. Underpaid, poor services, yet it is free, which is what really matters.

The NHS worked great for decades. Whenever the Conservatives are elected, they repeatedly reduce funding. Its free at point of use. I pay national insurance every month which funds the NHS. its not funded from the magic money tree

How much do you pay per month and is it based on income? I have Great insurance that affordable but I realize not everyone does. We need to clean our system up. First we need to get PE out of health care.
I’m pcp is through Amazon and it’s amazing but it doesn’t scale. Every appointment is at least an hour. So it’s very focused on solving your needs.
