our health care system in the uk is supposed to provide accommodation for the elderly, hospices, staffed nursing homes, old folks homes etc. i think it succeeds to an extent though nothing is perfect. i know if i went back to the uk i'd be supplied with a house, or flat, because of my heart problems. and yep we have waiting lists. and yep we also have private insurance if you want it.
the option is there. what is does do is make sure that 99.9% of people get treated as and when they need it. if you need a heart op you may have to wait. if you need an operation you may have to wait etc. but you get seen to. if you're out of work, medicines are free. like i say it's not perfect but what is?
the cost per head is way cheaper than it is in the states.
