DOCTORS in England on Thursday (13) staged the biggest walkout in the history of the UK's state-funded National Health Service, prompting fears for patient safety. The unprecedented five-day stoppage over pay and staff retention is the latest in eight months of industrial action across the NHS, which is already reeling from a vast pandemic backlog.
Charlie Chaplin talked about the difference in the country before and after the NHS. He said when he left that children were skinny and had rotten teeth. When he came back they were healthy.
As someone from Appalachia, that’s exactly what I seen growing up. It’s still like that today in some places deep in there.
It doesn’t have to be that way and I can’t imagine anyone willingly choosing to regress like that.
I hope we get this civilization thing right some day. It’s hard to have much hope when you see egos all around carrying on like the world is theirs and they’ll live forever.
If that happens you’ll see $1 mil medical bills like we do. If ambulance and ER for one day, it’s $6k
It would suck if they lost it.
