24 June 2013 22:13234739Anyone who complains about our NHS system should watch Bodyshock on Channel 4 and be grateful you are not an American like the gentleman featured in tonight's programme.
I can imagine the men on here feeling more than slightly unsettled by the sub-title The Man With The 10-Stone Testicles.

It's not just a matter of the failing NHS or the appalling American system - there is far better than both.
As for the programme, I will give it a miss.... not really my kind of thing. - Jan Higgins

Arise, my heart! The lark is already singing,
shaking its wings in the sunlight.
Cast off sleep, my heart, for the violet
is raising to God the incense of its awakening.
Each living, well-rested flower
opens in turn its eyes to see
in its chalice a dewdrop,
pearl of a day, its mirror.
We sense in the pure air that the angel of the roses
has passed in the night to bless the flowers.
All of them have opened for him,
who comes from on high to refresh their colours.
So arise! Since the lark is already singing,
shaking its wings in the sunlight,
nothing remains asleep, my heart, for the violet
is raising to God the incense of its awakening.
by Honoré de Balzac (you can work that out?)

Such a pity that you are happy to accept a second rate health service based on the absurd myth of the NHS. It is this kind of acceptance of sub-standard services that so damages health care in this country. There are better health systems around than what we have in which everyone can get better care than we have at the moment. I am, of course, not talking about the American system either. There are far better insurance funded systems in Europe we should adopt. - 25 June 2013 15:05234845The NHS is the tops, some might have other ideas, but so what?
Until we achieve greater equality generally the NHS must remain as is. Any insurance based scheme must be more costly overall than what we have now.
It has been the drive to privatisation carried out by both set (or all three sets) of wastrels in Parliament that has pumped good money after bad into the NHS, bean-counting and bonus-driven managers and streamlined, wasteful and damned poor regulatory systems.
All to be fixed, we hear, by going the whole hog...rubbish!Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
