Have you or a loved one worked in the NHS as Staff or Volunteer? Had a life changing operation funded though the NHS? Positive or Negative experience with the NHS system?

I have never lived outside the UK and can’t say I’ve ever lived outside the right of free healthcare but hearing stories of individuals needing to fundraise their own surgery makes me realize I take for granted just how much peace of mind the NHS gives me.

At the same token several news reports are suggesting that the NHS is crumbling under it’s own weight so it’s possible it may not reach 100. It’s clear that the NHS as it is currently is not viable for it’s own long term health. More will need to be done to keep the NHS publicly funded.

    Broken nose… unfortunate (and extremely painful) injury to private parts… allergies that would ruin everyday existence. The NHS solved the lot, getting life back on track with the minimum of fuss and I owe them nothing. Now I live in the US, and it’s an embarrassment how confusing, elitist and money-grabbing things are by comparison.

    I wish people would wake up and start voting in line with their pride for the NHS. Anyone who votes Tory, in any election, for any borough, needs their head seeing too… and you definitely won’t get that on a Conservative-run NHS.
