That's what I suspected.

My mom went to a doctor because of some sinus issues. He said she had a deviated septum but could fix it with a simple procedure. She said "great!". The doctor said "18 months". My mom responded with "forget it, we're moving to the states in 6".

And that was years ago. It's only gotten worse.

We are definitely lucky to be living here. But none of them are better equipped than the UK, it's become a standard of socialized systems to be ill prepared.

Does anyone feel that the service they get is good? Great? I keep hearing from our liberals here that the health care in Briton is among the best, similar to Canada. Yet from actual people who live there I hear bad reports.

That's the thing, for basic services it's pretty good. Need a dentist? No problem. Have a cold and need to see the doctor. No problem. Giving birth or break an arm, no problem. It's when you have a disease, a catastrophic accident or need a specialist that the system breaks down. There just isn't enough doctors or specialist or beds in the hospitals. And, mass immigration has exacerbated the problem. There is about a minimum six week wait for many services and it is not uncommon for surgeries to get canceled, even the morning of the procedure.
