About a decade ago, I was almost killed due to bureaucracy about a decade ago from an extreme ear infection.

About 20 years ago I have a problem with my ulnar nerves and my GP refused to give me a referral.  20 months later, I finally got one when he went on vacation and his replacement gave me one.  The nerve damage is permanent.

BTW, you still need insurance if you want proper and timely care.

In the US you need insurance to be alive, forget about timely or proper. The amount of people that die in the US because they can't afford their medicine or go to the doctor is astonishing. Slow healthcare is better than no heathcare

If you stay in an open ward (beds lining the walls with no dividers) you get to watch the BBC for a couple of hours a day.

Still better than dying on the streets like many people do in the US. I don't know how the UK is shit compared to the US when it comes to this lol

What a piece of shit your government is.

The UK government is shit because people like stickyboy feels 100% comfortable coming here, using their UK government work account, to do torrenting and to call me names.

I'm an elected local politician, and I gotta say, government workers have too many rights.  It's nearly impossible to fire them even for the most blatant violations.  It's also quite incestuous.  Go through the employee list and you will see several members of the same family.  One family has over 30 members working for the council and that's not even counting the wife's side.

I don't know how the BBC tax is taken out of taxpayers but in the US we have PBS, but is not really funded 100% by the government. Still, £156 is less than your average $4000 average visit to the ER in the US lol

If you stay in the hospital and are fortunate enough to get a private or semi private room, you have to pay £20 per day to watch tv.

If you stay in an open ward (beds lining the walls with no dividers) you get to watch the BBC for a couple of hours a day.

They were also deeply complicit in covering up the muslim rape gangs.  They demonized Tommy Robinson for daring to talk about it.

The BBC's Royal Charter demands that they be neutral in their reporting.  They are extremely and blatantly biased in their reporting.

Now that the tv tax is devolved fully to the BBC, a lot of dirty tactics are being used to force or scare people into paying when they don't have to.

I stopped watching live tv 2 years ago but I still get the monthly hate letters telling me that i wil lose my house and go to prison, yada, yada, yada.
