I have never heard that, except from the silly frogs.
If the cost of the NHS, approx 1700GBP per person, a year was used, instead, as payment to private health insurance you would get a really good service.
Imagine...choice. Going to the doctor of your choosing.
I've lived in HK, Australia, NZ, USA and the UK health system is by and large the worst. I have to go to a doctor within a zone, the one I have chosen is rubbish, hard to get to see with the receptionist from hell. She knows nothing of the problem I am going to Australia to have treated and she can't read an ECG. She never smiles, she never gets out from behind her desk and it is a really big deal to move to another doctor without a good reason, ie moving house.
People here seem to think that the NHS is good because it's free, it might be 'free' but it's about as useful as Mr Humphries.
