As we can't tell what percentage of our tax and NI contributions fund the NHS, I'd say it may not be that much more that what people pay here.
I have generally found the German health care system to be worth its rate. Something I can't say for the NHS.Comment

FFS. Even the private hospitals are at it now!!!!
Took Mrs to private appointment today (left site early). Waited and waited. Turns out the soddin' doctor wasn't even there - she'd been on maternity leave for 7 weeks yet the useless buggers let us sit there for 45 minutes!!!! Worse thing was the staff there didn't give a stuff....
Seriously, considering billing the useless buggers for my time. After all, you can guarantee if you don't show for a private appointment you'll get an invoice in the post.
Ain't happy either cos now Mrs has got to find someone else and wait for another appointment!!!!!Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
