LOL @ the idea of NHS being anything other than a tragedy.
On what basis is it a tragedy?
Denial is more than a river in Egypt, so I am not going to waste my time trying to explain it to you. Perhaps one of your fellow Brits will take a stab at it.
Posting smug and condescending blather like that doesn't make you appear smart or intellectual, not matter how much your delusional mindset may make you think otherwise.
I'll tell you what a tragedy is. The fact that millions of people in the most powerful and influential country on the planet can be allowed to go through life without guaranteed access to decent healthcare. That's a tragedy, my 'friend'. The NHS, despite not being completely perfect, guarantees everyone the right to decent quality healthcare, regardless of income.
