Enjoy it while you can. Soon enough the UK will have a health system similar to the US.

Certainly there has to be changes. Today's news virtually ensures that changes ( charges ) are inevitable.

Choose your bad news.

I'm not surprised you're shocked, I was a bit shocked at how much the deficit was too. How are they going to cover that? As good as the NHS is, there's no way it can go on in its present form without serious reform. No way.

Anyway, I didn't mean this to be an NHS debate, I was just replying to Nuns post. I'd take the NHS any day over the American system.

And that is a fair point... we just don't need yet another thread to discuss it in!
