- The NHS is performing substantially less well than health systems in similar countries, according to a detailed study from the influential think tank, The King's Fund.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
The report compared the UK with 18 other high-income nations and found that people here are less likely to survive preventable conditions such as strokes, cancers and heart attacks.
It found that the UK had the fewest number of MRI scanners among all 19 health systems in 2019, whilst only Sweden had a lower number of hospital beds per 1,000 people.

As an RN here in Australia I can confirm we’ve had so many agency nurses from the UK recently who say they’ve come over here cause they’ve had enough with the NHS! We have our own healthcare system issues here but at least we pay our nurses a decent wage
How much are the wages in Australia?
@@hemshah1567 significantly higher! Average starting salary here in Aus is around 65k AUD for a new starting nurse. In the uk it’s about 28000 GBP which is the equivalent of around 53k AUD. A new start nurse in Australia is on average earning more than what an experienced nurse in the UK would
@@jacksonong2576 £28000 is after tax and NI. Is 65k AUD salary after tax?
@@hemshah1567 yes. If you look at all levels of nursing we are paid higher wages. Average nursing salary across all positions ranges from 67k to 100k AUD. In the uk that range is on average 24900-37000 GBP, or the equivalent of roughly 47k-70k AUD. That’s a big difference
It isn't just an issue of wages - I'm sure you can imagine how demoralising it is to feel that your patients are being failed DAILY, to know what they need but be unable to provide it! I'd settle with pay rises in line with inflation only, and being able to deliver a gold standard of care whilst not feeling totally overworked! I think a newly qualified Doctor or nurse in the NHS would have to be practically masochistic to not have at least considered moving abroad!
Organisation and administration is a disaster in NHS this days and has been for years😔 🕊🕯️🙏🏻
@@liamromanis6985 not forgetting the New Labour government.
£350m a week. Remember that everybody?
That bus crashed a long time ago. It wasn't even insured.
Yeah it's freaking shocking. My gf had earache and what should have been dealt with in mere weeks took half a year. The chaos made things worse for my gf, suffering needlessly, and she nearly lost her job. It's a mess. Even in Malawi the healthcare is faster. Once we're back on track we're either going private or emigrating elsewhere. I don't feel confident if I get sick here that I'll get the help I need ON TIME!
My boyfriend passed away because of Crohn’s disease, he waited for treatment for months
MRI in Austria? 2-3 weeks MAX. If urgent, sooner. Also for ultrasounds, xrays, etc etc.
In Japan, same day.
Even if you don't have an appointment.
The UK is and has always been struggling
It's a poor country
Poor railway infrastructure
Poor road maintenance
No money to build sewage system
No money to clean streets
No money to build houses
No money....
a GP here in France earns on average £72,000 a year - in England they earn on average £148,000. The NHS isn't run for the patients....
whoops, inconvenient truth.
and more worryingly there are administrative managers and non clinical directors paid more than senior doctors and surgeons
I'm pretty sure this is bs.
average NHS GP salary is actually around £88,000 per year, france has some of the lowest healthcare wages of big EU countries, i imagine they have other benefits that make up like good pensions and long holidays that UK staff don't have. NHS nurses are paid an average of £33,000, in Norway its £47,000, in belgium its £55,000
Francophone professionals are generally paid less than Anglophone professionals. That's not specific to medicine.
I just had surgery in a public hospital in Mexico whilst travelling. The clinical side was so much faster and more efficiently organised than anything I have experienced in the NHS. So much wasted in NHS through poor orgnanisation and mgmt and not allowing clinical staff to make key decisions. In Mexico they apologised that I had to wait only 3 weeks for surgery from diagnosis, in the UK the wait may have been 2 years!!
The British sheeple still think the NHS is the envy of the world.
@@liamromanis6985 I paid at cost price out of my own pocket as a non-resident patient, no burden on the Mexican health budget
Welcome to impoverished UK
The problem is not funding (12% of GDP) it's administration. Quota appointments and poorly trained staff from the 3rd world some of whom have very poor English.
The head of the NHS joined an accelerated cadet program with a history degree. Need I say more!
weird how cuts and understaffing affect these things.
What a co incidence that that when you strip a service of resources it doesn't perform as well as those that are better resourced. Fancy that!
It’s because we don’t have an NHS anymore. We have the American system. Only difference is we get robbed as well and have to pay national insurance for healthcare you can’t access and a pension that will be worth peanuts.
No you don't have an American system. You had a hybrid system of NHS and privatized health care. Stop blaming everything on the "American way" and actually look at how your country is failing. Leave America out of it.
That is totally rubbish. We are nothing like the American model.
@@creativesource3514 we are, you just can’t see it yet.
@@jabbadabbajew6035 i worked in both. You couldn't get two more contrasting health care systems.
@@creativesource3514 I’ve used both and they are the same now days. The NHS has been privatised by stealth. Try and get a new dentist on the NHS now or a walk in GP appointment. 30 years ago you could just walk in, no problem. Try it now.
You'll be seen quicker by a doctor if you book a flight to Italy, then go to their hospital, that will take less than two hours
In the UK, you'll wait 12 hours
In my head, I have already made the decision to leave England after 10 years in London. I am just needing to find a job. Might take a few months, but won’t take forever. All EU countries are a better place than this mess. And as a German I just can’t justify possibly damaging my health long term, or have something go undetected, just because of the poor health care system here
A Pandora's Box, ireland is.
German HCS sucks too, fyi.
@@allanhouston22 I just got an endoscopy appointment in three days. I think in England it would have been 7 months xx
Turkish Health Care system is much better. I belive better than the entire EU too. Maybe UK ahould stop accommodating the migrant boats and help its own people.
Today in Germany - Called the doctor at 9.30, left him at 11.45 with a recipe, left the pharmacy with my medicine 11.55, payed nothing
After my experience in the last week privatise it because it's unfit for purpose my wife was rushed to a hospital with a serious respiratory problem in one week she saw 6 doctors all with their own theories one telling her it was heart failure without any clinical evidence whatsoever they have sent her for echo's she has had 2 ct scans would have been 4 if the doctors had their way which even I know exceeds the safe radiation exposure limit and thankfully the ct team refused to do 2. She's had blood taken everyday she's been bounced from place to place and in the last 2 days both doctors and nurses have flat out lied to her and she's at the point she'd rather come home and risk another episode then stay in that hospital one more day so she's discharging herself against medical advice and some of the staff have treated her rudely because she's not listening to them saying "oh just give us one more day" when after them saying that the next nurse told her another day wouldn't make any difference absolutely disgusting.
I'm sorry but those graphs make no sense.
How can countries like Portugal with much worse pay have more docs than the UK???
Portugese doctors are not as greedy.
Combination of factors:
- their medical degrees are not as well respected so more difficult to leave
- much lower cost of living so the pay goes further
The son of an immigrant general practitioner in the NHS promises to restrict the UK's dependence on... Immigrant clinical staff. With a straight face.

To start with the sickness/absence problem needs to sorted & the employment of agency staff, it’s costing the NHS a fortune with tax payers pounds!
every since covid all areas not just NHS are operating like they get paid 1pound per hour not answering calls etc! and they got a pay rise for doing less.....no one should be in a job they dont love or not doing what theyre paid to do to their best ability or efficiently
If you actually look up the data doctors have never seen so many people.
The issue is not enough doctors because the pay is awful (among other issues)
@@Bringon-dw8dx possibly but i mean every public service has gone to the dogs
@@kaisersoze5236 there are shortages of staff everywhere. In every industry. There just aren't enough working people in this country to do the jobs that are needed. A big part of that is our failing health service that means people who get ill with treatable conditions get neglected until their health is soo bad they can no longer work. And over a decade of wage cuts that mean its more appealing for older people to take early retirement and live peacefully off their pensions than work every hour of the day for the same money
This is great service but before that the hospital service is poor have a long waiting list and I 'm stuggle to get a GP appointment. BTW, in Taiwan MRI scan service no need to wait and you can get report right after scan.
Im not sure it is all about money. The NHS needs reform as well.
I’m donating my kidney to a friend who needs one. And the other day he had to go and have his blood treatment and because he’s very week afterwards he has to be taken home by those hospital transports. They were all unavailable so they ordered a taxi ( fair enough ) but instead of ordering it from Dorchester where they are they ordered it from pool ( a good few miles away ) to just take him not far outside Dorchester. Cost £145 for about 6 miles
Im a senior hospital doctor here and i wish i left 20 years ago.
Salary and conditions are rubbish. We wont recruit the best.
Note for unionists in north of Ireland: NHS performing considerably below Ireland's HSE.
The Times reported the words of a former Health Secretary: the U.K. is a subsidiary of the N.H.S.
Your comment of comparison can be parsed.
Ward word is very good (2.) but Ireland is a subsidiary of the 110,000 staff of the H.S.E.
Perhaps only 15,000 of them are actually necessary.
P.S. I would change 'Note for...' to 'N... '... Nationalists.'

Great to have your healthcare inside a business retailing tobacco & alcohol, so convenient.
Maybe it's all the strikes and patient blaming.
Such a serious, professional looking guy…..and then you look at his hands. His kids won this one 🤣
yet we have lost of doctors & nurses to do pointless COSTLY trans operations & trans reversals. I say make that private only as NHS has to prioritise HEALTH ONLY!
As a country, our willingness to pay tax for the nhs reflects the lack of compassion for sick people generally. It’s the minority seeing shat on.
Exactly
there isn't an 'NHS tax', or anything claiming to be one isn't. The British are paying record high taxes. The trouble is, for what? There's plenty of spending going on that should be lower priority than NHS funding: at least £1.3 billion per year on accommodating uninvited migrants, £3 billion - £4 billion on the Ukraine war, the relatively pointless and hugely expensive lock downs, etc, etc. All of that had/has cross-party support.
@@davidadiwego4608 there is not an NHS tax, but there's NI, which is necessary to fund care. The thing is that the system is broken. In Portugal, including Madeira and Azores, we also pay a fee to be seen in public hospitals, otherwise if you go to your local GP you don't have to pay.
@davidadiwego4608 the taxes are going to pay back the debt caused by helping businesses & peoplesurvive the pandemic and all that was borrowed to lift our nhs during COVID because we were so under prepared and actually had a really tough (unnecessarily) time. It’s only now slightly going back in to the nhs, and social care cuts which were savage with tory austerity are really putting the nhs under strain. We could tax wealth, tax windfalls on energy companies and make life easier and better for the majority. The reports are clear - we spend less on health than Peer nations and get a correspondingly struggling service.
@@BedboundME Indeed
Do these people even look at the NHS budget? The budget will go over the massive covid spending. Within just a few months or a couple of years.
I just came out of hospital two weeks ago...next time i will go to the Vet.
Its like a third world country.
Well at least you've realised that about the UK. Many think it's a rich country. But the facts show the complete opposite as you've just discovered
What should be done is no Agency can supply a worker to a NHS trust they were employed by, these company's poach workers then they end up back at the same hospital being paid more for doing less and they then persuade others to do the same. Councils now do this with social workers and it has lessened the leaving to agency rate because to get employment from their new agency they have to move out of the area to work or have to travel longer distances.
Do this and we leave the country. I’m deadly serious. Doctors are already leaving in droves, our strike ballot was 98% in favour of strikes.
My locum shifts are the only thing that makes my job mildly attractive. Otherwise I live pay cheque to pay cheque. When my car broke down, when my friend had her hen do abroad etc I needed those extra agency shifts to pay for it.
Or just pay us a reasonable wage.
Also if you don’t have agency how tf is the hospital supposed to run?! Do you understand how many rota gaps there are?!
At the end of the day it was all about the NHS. I am sick and tired of hearing about this ? When I was at uni doing an IT course. You would think that the university would recruit and hire the next generation of workers. But oh no.. you also have gp that go on those courses competing for the IT jobs for the NHS. So it started from there. Nurses left to go on IT side as well. Rather than IT people entering and securing that area. Then all the nurses being out of perm jobs cos of the financial crash and then they forced the agency model.... Who earns from this ? They do. Most NHS families now dominated the entire country. Has around two to three pension pots. Combined. Secured from their next generation. Meanwhile. The entire tech sector people .. mostly squeezed out of work. Thrown into the heaps. Blamed for negligence. I can list the whole thing. Then the migrants workers above local workers as well. Even for agency work. And now the immigration topic happens. It's like a never ending fairy tales.
I forgot... The people who are now poor from being shafted this way. Now has to pay more for this monster. And for the NHS pension pots. So you have people whom has like pension pots and not died... And they are being carried by around gazillion amount if people who are now starving adults. So.. the effect is now... NHS employee has pension pot. As well as work.. as well as hours. As well as... Discounts from commerce's. As well as everything else. And commerce are forced to give them discounts and they don't kick up a fuss over this. Even though these people could afford it. Injustices ? Lots. When you see one nhs employee.. or entity... Is above the rest of the people and no more social layers.... A lot of these people never had to pay for their courses as well. Many did pay the 27k.... And even the uni won't reduce overseas intakes etc.
@@MeiinUK If working in the NHS is so great where are there so many vacancies? Markets dont lie

All I can say over the past year the national health service has saved my life 3 times . The immediate response was amazing. With immediate surgery and after care . Thankyou for all you have done .
I agree. Critical care, once you get into that part of the system, is exceptional with some brilliant hardworking nurses and consultants.
It's not the NHS's fault, the fault lies in years of Tory lack of funding and selling off of assets. I worked in Spain or 18yrs, believe me, our poor; beleaguered NHS makes the Spanish Securidad Social look like private health care. They can afford the best equipment from around the world because they believe prevention is better than cure, they treat issues before they become a problem. I've received emergency care from both, in the UK I had arranged, 'emergency', cancer surgery on a Saturday, the top Consultants, with all their years of learning and experience were having to work the weekends as the department was so under staffed!
Oh here we go again what about the people who didn't

So what is the solution?
@eve3363 the solution is simple to follow the model of France and other eu states that have half government funding and half private with competition.
@@eve3363there's no solution. The country is bankrupt. They think that by voting for tweedle dum party next time will be the solution. The problem is that tweedle dum government will have a bankrupt country so they will borrow money to pay and bankrupt the country further. Emigrate
not happening the people regard the NHS as their holy cow and reforms are not welcome. They certainly don't like the French or the rest of the Europeans and will not take any advice from them
Unfortunately all the vital signs are absent in this holy cow but the reverence continues

Good Lord, what a handsome chief analyst...couldn't keep my eyes off his nails! 😅 - On another note, I'm German and have lived in the UK for 8 years pre-pandemic. I received the most amazing education there, from BA to PhD, some self-paid, most funded. And I am eternally grateful and would have returned well by now because all my thinking and growing up happened in the UK and was majorly channelled through my studies and I just have a soft spot for British people... if it wasn't for the terrible economic freefall since Brexit. It would be mad to leave Germany for the UK now. It is so so heartbreaking to watch from abroad how my chosen home is destroying itself or rather gets destroyed by Tory misrule and selfishness. I hope and pray the UK will pick up in the future whether I return or not. For the sake of its people and incredible research facilities and its arts and history.

Investment is key to our health service. In other words put more money in it Sunak
Problem is that most of the funding now go's to private companies, so regardless of how much they put in the majority will go in profit
@@lewisg7614 yup. and they included things like track and trace as NHS budget, yet went to private hands.
Doctors in England have been told to tell patients they can opt for private medical treatment as opposed to using the NHS. The cost for private care will come out of the NHS budget. Tories have never liked or want publicly funded health care. So many parts of the NHS are already privatised and run for profit eg agency staff costs. The Tories have now reached its long term goal of demolishing the NHS and literally bleeding us to death.
It would only waste more money. It needs rebuilding from top down, and strip out a lot of unnecessary management and administration.
The money is going to pay for the mistakes they have already made, millions paid out every year to patients who have been cold called by ambulance chasers who convince them they were made worse by having to wait for treatment. I get these calls every time I have an appointment at the local NHS hospital so someone is giving out the names and numbers of those attending clinics, our number is unlisted so they could only get it from the Hospital records.

Other countries have had far more immigration than the UK and haven't seen the same decline in health services. Although we have seen high immigration, unemployment is very low so those migrants must be working and paying tax so the money should be there but investment in the NHS has dropped both in terms of percentage GDP and per population (accounting for inflation)
@stevec6427 thank you you know what I thought the answer might have been more nuanced than that racist replied earlier ty.
Doctors pay was cut 40%, they lost their subsidised/free accommodation and food (that was to make up for their weird work hours and the fact they are forced to move across the country quite literally overnight). The GMC fees, insurance fees, exam fees went up. The cost of becoming a doctor in the first place is now around 150k.

@@user-us8kr2yv5gTrue, but as it’s a vet, sort your remortgage out and have a wheelbarrow of cash ready to make the payment.
Depends on the indication. A routine MRI will be done within 3 months in most cases. If it is a cancer rule out it will be done within 2 weeks.
Depends on what illness you have, the severity and where you are in the country. I recently had one the same day but then I had suspected life threatening internal injuries

- check the referral portal to see if x speciality has messaged back a plan
-check if they have received a reply from the specialist they just messaged a question to in order to help their patient
- check if they have the right dosage of drug? If there’s a better option?
- ask a logistical question to the group chat about if anyone has seen the ultrasound machine or if anyone knows where x doctor is
- check with their consultant (boss) what the plan is/ask them a question like a good safe junior doctor should
People use their phones all the time now, it’s embedded into the job.

Taxes are at an all time high and still not enough money for the NHS. Where is all the money going ? How to repriortize ?
Housing Benefit.
In 2010 the NHS achieved record high patient satisfaction numbers. By 2012 the Tory leadership said the NHS was completely broken and needed the biggest ever top down reorganisation in it's history. In text, the 2012 HSCA was longer than the bill which created the NHS. Critics said it was so big you could "see it from space". ....Therein lies your answer.
Nice green nails 🤣🤣
It's shite lets face it
Uk have awesome weapons dumps and money for tanks and missiles for Ukraine. Wake up people!
I love how the government talk about less fewer nurses and doctors in a lot of them fall into the BAME community but they are happy to add further stress into the NHS but welcoming more migrants.
Quelle surprise.
Similar countries? Say rich countries, 1st world countries. Is it so hard to say?!
Many middle income and even some developing nations have higher quality healthcare than the UK or the US
loving his nails
Greece the top in the list?? 😮
4:30 I'm sorry, while some of the things he's saying are indeed true how can we be expected to take a man wearing fluoro green nail polish seriously? That's clearly not a person with sound decision making capacity.
Edit: With regards the earlier piece and the conclusions. The conclusions are not apt or reasonable. The UK under funds because the UK is bankrupt.
More importantly however, beyond a basic staffing level which the UK already has, the positive impact of more staffing in healthcare on patient outcomes is minimal.
By your staffing chart Australia, New Zealand and Japan all do poorly but have amongst the best healthcare outcomes in the world.
You mentioned emmigration to Australia and New Zealand but failed to mention that Australia's medical body AHPRA is seriously investigating a category change for medical and healthcare workers immigrating from the UK to require additional training before they are allowed to practice. NZ's medical council is considering the same. The reason for this is poor outcomes involving graduates from the UK.
You can not fix an NHS staffed by under/poorly trained medical and healthcare personnel without fixing the training first.
Let me give you a first hand anecdotal example of their poor training. My FIL died of lung cancer last year. He caught covid in 2020, then again in 2021. He survived both. He had reduced lung capacity afterwards, so NHS practitioners were "monitoring him closely". He had ct scans, he had an mri, he had xrays. They diagnosed him with COPD. But that was a misdiagnosis. He actually had lung cancer which they didn't detect despite looking right at it for a year, until it progressed into his throat and he was stage 4. He died 3 and a half weeks after diagnosis. I have been in medicine for 18 years, I've run hospitals and that level of utter incompetence floored me. Looking at his records after the indicators of lung cancer appear in his scans and blood work towards the end of 2020 and they were obvious to anyone adequately trained. If diagnosed then he had a good prognosis.
Australia and New Zealand are starting to see these exact kinds of outcomes, and they're coming from UK healthcare immigrants. The AHPRA stats don't lie. They are not adequately trained. The problem starts long before university, it starts in primary school. The UK has a fundamental education problem and it's global education rankings reflect that.
The NHS doesn't just need a bunch of money the country doesn't have thrown at it to up wages for people who arguably don't know what they're doing. NHS needs staff that have adequate education and training, and that means in the short to medium term those people largely need to be sourced from other OECD nations.
As do lecturers in UK universities. Meanwhile education needs a complete overhaul. Ground up because the poor education outcomes aren't just affecting healthcare graduates, they're damaging the entire economy, and then poor healthcare outcomes damage the economy further.
This is long term policy the UK desperately needs, so the next generation come into the work force capable.
This is interesting but honestly I don't think I ever met a UK trained doctor in the NHS (including GPs)
But the striking junior doctors currently playing Russian roulette with patients lives and holding the country to ransom argue that Australia and New Zealand are actively trying to recruit them.
@@taffyterrier If Australia and NZ were actively trying to recruit them for more money and better conditions, do you really think they'd all be striking instead of on a plane?
Nurses, techs and paramedics are just as bad.
@@tjmarx I think they will strike because they know the majority of NHS worshipping public are convinced their skillset is in great demand in Australia and New Zealand and support their claim for 35% “pay restoration” to disincentivise them from abandoning the country. I suspect they are empty threats and most lack the bottle to uproot themselves for a new life on the other side of the world.
Congratulations Tories. You've made us a third world country.
Blair instigated the demise of uk with unchecked immigrants
Eat slowly and chew more than you think you need to.
We like to be so negative about the nhs.
Yes it needs work.
But if you don’t like it just pay and go private?
People die everyday because of understaffing, people that should now be alive with their families. Does that not bother you?
'BELOW AVERAGE HEALTH FUND' BECAUSE YOU GIVE 2.5 BILLION POUNDS TO UKRAINE 2 MONTHS AGO LOL SO STUPID
Thank you Brexit hehehe

My experience with the NHS is not great. The other day, I woke up in the middle of the night with a tingling sensation on my left arm, like an electric shock. I tried to hold a grip, just to let the blood flow, but it didn't budge. I rang 111 to ask for advice. They instructed me to hold the arms up in the air, to see if I could, but the left arm would come down easily. She said that she had called an ambulance and told me to keep the line free. When the ambulance came, the paramedics carried out an assessment. They measured the blood pressure, they even carried that exercise of hand pulling and pushing to see if I was able to hold a grip. Then one of them gave me some paracetamol for the pain. After a few minutes, they dropped at A&E, they asked me to sit and wait there until I was called. I waited for more than 3 hours, until I was finally seen by a doctor. I told her what happened and by the symptoms I described, she said that the tingling sensation, was just pins and needles, resembling an electric shock. It usually happens when you sleep on one side.
There is also this one time, I asked my GP for some blood tests and he denied me these. He said that I wasn't at risk of heart disease and I didn't fall into the age group of 45.
In Madeira, Portugal, where I am from, nurses do take blood tests. They have to be authorised by the GP, though. After the results come back, the doctor would discuss them with you in person during an appointment.
The NHS is a disgrace in terms of patient care.
As horrible as it sounds consider yourself lucky that they send an ambulance to you. My dad back in 2017 woke up on Sunday morning not being able to walk, stand up and every head movement or eyes rolling he was throwing up. His speech was blurred as if he was drunk. I called 999 and the dispatcher after asking him to hold his arms up decided an ambulance was not needed and we were told we need to take him to the closest A&E within the next hour. He at that time lived on the second floor flat. Needless to say me and my mum had to drag him on his bottom step by step downstairs as he was not able to stand up let alone walk. When we arrived in A&E I wanted a wheelchair so I could bring him from the car park. They didn't even help me to find one, just pushed me from one place to the other until I decided to park right in front of the A&E door and started to drag my dad out of the car. Paramedics saw that and quickly the chair was found. We entered A&E at 4PM. He was given anti vomiting medicine and we waited to be seen by a doctor at 10PM who assessed that my dad most likely was suffering with vertigo however they decided to do a CT scan. At 11PM dad had a CT scan and before midnight we were told he was having a multiple stroke!!! No ambulance, and from 4PM till 10PM we were waiting in an A&E waiting room to be seen. Now 6 years later and my dad is disabled since then. Can't walk on his own, mentally not the same person either. Half of his face is paralysed and he has problems with movement coordination in one arm and one leg. He can't even do his own buttons or a zip because of the movement coordination.
@@patngalamulume that's very sad, indeed. I'm sympathetic with you, and I understand how it must have been and still is. I also have to point out, when the paramedics assessed me, they were above all, indifferent apart from the doctor at A&E, who was caring.
Go back to Portugal then if it's so bad
What exactly is your complaint? That the paramedics didn’t diagnose you?
@@ColaScan it's not that. It's their long faces sometimes. Perhaps they were just tired and overworked
Inflation
We dont need socialised healthcare. We need free markets. Healthcare would be cheaper, better and everyone would be rich enough to afford it. Government wants to keep us trapped in statism. That's all it cares about. Continuation of the state, especially a huge state.
Why would it be cheaper, when everything we see of how the US system works, for example, shows how much medical fees can cripple families financially?
@@django3422 That's a good question but when I mention reducing the size of the establishment in terms of IP laws a lot of socialists will suddenly start talking like capitalists and say (wrongly) that without IP there will be no investment.
@@Garycarlyle That's not answering my question.
@@django3422 i feel I explained why well. To be more specific, less IP laws mean cheaper products. Smaller government does in general. Corporations only exist too because of the state Especially large corporations but the very process of incorporation is registering with the state and receiving their benefits for it.
@@Garycarlyle And how does that result in us avoiding the high cost of private healthcare that plagues the US?

Hospital hygiene
It's so that his head doesn't get pulled into the scanner.
Hygeine in hospitals also meant to be short sleeves, no watches bare below elbows.
