I have heard a lot of complaints regarding UK healthcare but I'd rather talk
about what I know.

Spain has Paradise-Grade Socialized Healthcare. Meaning you may show up to an
appointment for chemmo therapy only to be told to come next week because they
have no supplies. Or, my favourite, you get diagnosed with lung cancer and they
take four months to perform an extension study, and by the time they do it you
are told you have metas everywhere and you are gonna die in a year because you
took too long to treat it.

These are not examples I am pulling out of my ass, I work as tech support for a
clinic and I see this stuff constantly.

Compare that to holding an insurance card and getting a tumor extracted the same
day it is discovered.

Socialized healthcare is good for one thing: to keep poor serfs calm because
they believe they are covered.
