  1. The NHS is totally paid for by National Insurance, with something to spare. We raise 11.5% of GDP by NI, the NHS costs just 9.9% of GDP. Boris increased NHS spending, and started 40 new hospitals, this wil lead to the NHS costing just10% of GDP, leaving 1.5% of GDP for which pensions payments are the main use. Being able to defend the country, and the people therein is infinitely MORE IMPORTANT than breeding highly educated well looked after slaves!! Defence should always be paramount, but only in times of tension, and war should it be the main focus, Churchill was the person who said this after laying out his ideas that finally became the NHS in 1908. In my humbleopinion defence spending in the UK should never be less than 3.5%, (peace or tension timethis is totally affordable and ensures the future of many valuable tech and heavy industryu jobs in this country. The Roman General Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus famously said of such things in his book "Epitoma Rei Militaris," Which roughlytranslates to this : "if you want peace, prepare for war." This is something Britian has never been very good at except in the case of WW1.

  2.  @G1NZOU  Well said. But at least a central control for costs run by the NHS keeps prices down.

  3.  @ScienceChap  If the NHS is a bloated Beureaucratic nightmare then I would hate to be in any hospital outside of the British, and French systems. Any other system especially the so called private health care in the USA is riddled with innefficiency, and horrendously bad management, and so pricey that most people cannot even attend their doctors. before you try saying I am wrong you might want to look up the reason a NOT FOR PROFIT medical organisation in the USA was set up in the first place called Remote Area Medicine. Us medecine is just a joke,as is any private health care system in either the UK, or the rest of the world! People like you do not realise that Churchill that lover of Communism (NO HE WASN'T I AM BEING FACETIOUS TOWADS YOU HERE) was the person without whom neither Britian, nor France would have the two best healthcare systems in the world. You should maybe try having a long term problem in the USA and seeing just what a marvel the NHS is by comparison. £100 just to see a doctor, £500 just for a stitch, these are ridiculous prices set by a none controlled profit rampand cruel deadly and totally corrupt US health don't care system.

  4.  @salsanchez2114  Spot on? How exactly the NHS systems of both France and the Uk are the besty in the world, and far better than anything in the USA. 5,000 people a year in California alone (population 56 million) die in their equivalent of A&E, compared to roughly 1,500 over any 5 years in the UK (population 68 million). You are just trolling here, because there is NO outcome in the USA that bastion of expensive private health care that betters the NHS. More women die in child birth in the USA per head of population, more children die before reaching 1 year old inthe USA than in the UK. Your pot is so far wrong it shouldn't even be allowed on here.
