[quote=Anonymous]My experience of spending the best part of a year in and out of NHS hospitals in the UK was that the care was generally excellent. If you are young and have a rare condition I think the care you get there can be on a par, or even better, than the US. My daughter spent several months in a NICU and when she was discharged we had nurses coming two nights a week to help with the ng feeding, tracheotomy etc. All the equipment was provided for free. We never saw a bill for what must have been hundreds of thousands of dollars of treatment. The care my parents received was much more variable, but generally it was good and caring. I understand that if you have money the US can be better, and certainly in terms of things like getting a private room or decent food, and there are serious issues now with waiting lists etc in the UK, but I think there is something very moving about a national commitment to ensuring free healthcare for the whole population.[/quote]
