One silver lining to Brexit - the NHS as it exists will probably disappear

She works with "Challenging Families". Alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, complex health needs, child abuse. That sort of thing.

Ah, now that clears things up - those are typical issues that get imported with every immigrant, local ingenuous population is totally immune to these.

Sounds great, why can't NHS be sold to ze Germans?

Because they are no longer partial to being enrolled into entities that have the initials N and S in their names?

Feel free to get all preachy (as usual).

I was talking about the premise and ideology of our NHS, not what it has actually become. Still, you seem intent on accelerating from 0 to bellend at every opportunity.

The NHS model would be fine if it had the appropriate funding but as I said, the nation is skint.

That's funny. My wife works in the NHS and 80% of her case-load is European migrants or recent immigrants.

I suspect that, once again, you actually don't know what you are talking about.

And once again, you'd be spot on.

He is an idiot. But he is OUR idiot!!

Yeah let's believe some random fooking anecdotal evidence.

Any financial pressure the EU immigrants cause is due to our own inefficiency in (1) not insisting on private health care which would have kept many out in the first place and is allowed by the EU and (2) not claiming back for those who do use it

So foreigners make up 10% of the population and they cause 80% of the workload ?

Sounds like BS.

BS because it doesn't suit the argument? What a shame.

You Brexiters were never very good with numbers

But anyway back to the point of this thread. We're exiting the EU, so that's the past.
I suspect that the future of the NHS is not what many (especially the lower strata) will be happy with.
But for the well off, we can finally see a GO when we want rather than waiting for 3 weeks (as my current GP service does)

OK I get it: the reason NHS won't get £350 mln per week as promised by Brexiters is not because it was a blatant lie, but because there won't be NHS to give the money to!

You've heard it on here first.

Provided we don't let the Septics' insanely vindictive legalistic compensation culture take hold in the UK!

That is largely why their privatized health system is so expensive.

Yup. Believe me or not. It's up to you.

She goes to most sessions with an interpreter in tow.

If she worked with the elderly her caseload would have a different composition. But she works in earlier intervention with poor families.

Look on the bright side. Cocaine is only 76 dollars
