anyone in the UK used private healthcare and is it worth it? These uncaring doctors and waiting lists are making me wanna kms.

THE NHS IS FUCKING HORRID. I just got half-diagnosed by a neurologist after a year long waiting list. He told me that the physiotherapist that i visited TWO YEARS AGO were meant to diagnose me with the problem he found.
It's gonna take me another 2 months waiting list to visit physiotherapy AGAIN.

funny how everyone on social media acts like the NHS is so much better than the US health care system or on par with the canadian system. I guess they are just full of shit

You already know what the answer is. Vote in a government that will deport all the Pakistanis and Indians and that'll take the strain off your healthcare system so that actual citizens can get treated.

Not OP but up in Canada we have a similar system and the universal healthcare is great if you're a NEET or poorfag you don't end up like all the other americans talking about how they can't afford to get some awful injury or infection taken care of and have to resort to posting on /adv/ if they can macgyver something out of baking soda, duct tape, and dish soap to deal with all the blood they've been pissing lately.

I'm glad that also should I get the big C at a finiancally unstable time in life I can always rely on the public system instead of going bankrupt or just letting the cancer have its way with me because at that point remaining alive and paying off the debt wouldn't be possible or worth it, or again never spotting the concert in the first place because I can't afford to go see any doctor anywhere.

However because of that exact same reason you end up with over 9000 hypochondriacs at every urgent care clinic and ER room clogging up the system with non-emergencies 24 hours a day.
Usually the same people who complain that the people with burns all over their bodies or severe brain damage or blood everywhere get to go ahead of them and their "I feel kinda funny today, I think" problem.

Most of my family and I have private health insurance and it's lowk night and day difference.
If you're just a regular guy who doesn't go through a lot, I wouldn't say that it's worth it. For everyone else, yes.

Is he wrong tho? Not only the UK, but every European country (and Canada) public health care systems started to deteriorate since all these immigrants came in.
Its impossible to handle so many people, it's just unsustainable.

This isnt a right wing thing either, many leftist parties from different countries are starting to take on the anti mass/illegal immigration aproach.

Why you mad? Thirdies are more important than native whites. Get used to it chud. The future is brown.

Not extensively, but a few years ago my parents offered to pay for a private clinic to get some blood tests done on me instead of doing it through the NHS because the time I would have to wait would've been much lower through a private clinic. The clinic I went to was still under construction but somehow was more clean than any NHS clinic I'd ever been to. The guy who took my blood was very friendly, actually English, and experienced (he'd been a paramedic for 20 years before getting into private healthcare), so I felt at ease. Overall I'd say the experience was great, but if you're not ready to cough up a lot of cash to go to a private clinic, it's definitely worth it.

I meant "and if you're ready to cough up a lot of cash to go to a private clinic".
Silly me
