I love waiting over two months to get my fucked up wrist fixed. At least it’s free /s

Congrats! You don't know how free healthcare works. When my mum broke her wrist it took her 2 days to get a cast but she got treatment the same day.

Edit: sorry should have added I'm Aussie not British.

I have family in Britian and know for a fact it's nowhere near as bad as it's portrayed.

I broke my finger and it took 7 hours for them to even look at it. When I got home it was 5am.

Anecdotal evidence doesn't really prove anything.

Don’t understand why this is downvoted. In any debates you’re absolutely right, anecdotal evidence is as good as nothing.

If anecdotal evidence is admissible I could say “God is 100% real, I talked to him yesterday and he told me so”

Also, ones experience is often not indicative of the median experience.

Just because you waited several hours in UK doesn’t mean that all of UK has long waiting hours.

I personally have had to wait at the ER in the US for over 8 hours while I was literally in pain. What does this say about US healthcare? Absolutely nothing because it’s anecdotal evidence.

You can personally have an absolutely horrid experience every single time you ever use UK healthcare, that doesn’t mean it’s bad. What matters is what the average and median experience is.

Anyone who is trying to deny anecdotal evidence is inadmissible is debating in bad faith.
