Strange choice of name then.

...................what's with the soccer thing..........?
Having just watched my local news and hearing the rants of local protestors, I guess I need to let all you Brits know how sorry I feel for you and your wretched health care. How did you ever get it so screwed up?
Once again, I am so sorry.......
To the Canadian readers of this forum, I hear that the US has set-up medical aid stations at the border to deal with all the critical care patients that can't get care in Canada. You poor buggers, half of you can't speak English! I''m so glad America is here to take you in and show you the way. BTW, you do have cash or a good credit card, don't you?
Seriously, do you ever just fall down laughing at us Americans?
Wrong shaped ball.....
Seems we have a political posturing session going on in the UK and the NHS is the topic of choice. See what happens about this time of year, every year is all the Members of Parliament are let out amongst the general public, unsupervised by their party officials. The clever ones go on some junket holiday paid for by us, the tax payers. The not so bright ones, make statements to the press without getting them checked over first.
Having experienced both US and UK health services, here's what I think. One of them isn't as good as it thinks it is and the other one isn't as bad as it's made out to be. One suffers from propaganda hype, the other from propaganda condemnation. Depends where you stand politically...but I found the actual service levels of both to be uncannily similar...then again I could afford the insurance and only for my inoculations on the ride to S.America did I get to see the side of US medicine that insurance doesn't cover. So I didn't get a fluffy towel robe, but the needles were sharp and clean and the guy knew what he was doing and I didn't die.
Which system is the better...well if you come to the UK and fall ill, you will get the same treatment that I would. If I came to the US and didn't have the same cover of insurance that you have, then I wouldn't get what you get.
What you pay in medical insurance premiums, we pay in tax on fuel, which then goes towards medical costs. Our fuel is expensive, medical insurance isn't. You pay one way or another.
Do we fall over laughing at you guys?
I'm not sure there's too much that's funny, in a comedic sense.
Ahh a devotee of the egg chase.
Player, or watcher?
League, or Union?
Charmingly tactful response.
