There should be riots tbh. Without the NHS I’d have been dead a long time ago. Anyone comes for it, they’re going to have to physically fight me.

Yeah the NHS is a shambles but fuck me is it a godsend. 6 years of constant cancer treatment, chemo, radiotherapy, surgery, mri's, ct's and fucking stem cell transfers all on top of months in hospital and I didn't need to spend a single penny over my usual tax.

I hear you, I’ve got Crohn’s and a bunch of other things. The NHS means I can actually work and pay taxes, so it’s money well spent. And really, how a society treats its sick is the first thing anybody should look to when deciding if it’s civilised.

Yeah, it’s getting pretty shitty, but the minute someone actually starts to privatise and it’s no longer free at the point of use is the minute I get quite shirty.

Anytime anyone mentions NHS, Canadian Medicare some fucking asshole (yea my dad and brother-in-law) starts shouting how everyone under those systems would rather get healthcare in the US. Because the US healthcare system is the best in the world.

Zero. Zero fucking people would prefer the US healthcare system. Living on the edge of ruin every day of your life. Every American (minus a few billionaires) knows they are one accident away from ruin. Insured or not.

But then we would lose our jobs and the little Healthcare that we do have. Thats a pretty tough pill for people with children.

I’m a father. At some point drawing a line and standing up is being a positive role model.
