Coming Soon To A Waiting Room Near You:

Needless waits and apathetic bureaucracy.

In the UK, you can't go in the emergency room ambulance doors unless an ambulance brings you. Bleeding to death? Sorry, can't help you.

What? WHY?

Because of an institutional apathy toward efficiency and customer service. This is a common theme in socialistic governments, in case you missed it. By the way, the NHS in the UK was one of the model systems when they were cramming Obamacare through pitching health care reform. Oh, and the transition to heartless, faceless, ineffectual government-run medicine is well under way in the USA, but you don't necessarily see it (yet). Read what it's like to try to become an authorized government health care provider when you know all the ropes, are well-qualified, and really want in on the system.

It would be funny if it were a Monty Python sketch, but this is your nation. Elections are in a year and a half. What are you going to do about it?
