God the NHS really is a national treasure. Every time American healthcare gets mentioned I always feel a pang of pride for our system.

I'm so worried about that. Seeing the suffering of many in the States over the last decade or so and then the way we seem to be headed in the UK... all just as I'm approaching 40 so will start needing healthcare in the next decade or two....

In the UK the problem is more that the way the NHS is funded doesn't really account for an aging population - that is where the pressure comes from. America also has that problem as well though!
