      Eh, what’s the alternative? Healthcare requires high level of education and expensive equipment. Similar to air travel.

      It’s a luxury due to high costs.

          The average cost of the NHS per person in the UK is £3,268, not being able to opt out of the cost doesn’t make it cheap.

          To me it’s absolutely a luxury and despite the NHS not being perfect, there’s an awfully lot of people around the world that envy the system.
