This World | NHS: Britain's healthcare system is in ICU

The NHS may be going through a difficult time but is is still far and away better than the health systems of the vast majority of countries on the planet. It saved me from a stage 4 cancer and conducted many operations on my person for a number of issues since then.

It’s interesting to talk about other countries but Britain’s Healthcare system is one of the best in the world and India is definitely not in the same league with Britain on healthcare but I would say India has quite a big number of best doctors.

Well working atmosphere in NHS is still way better than India at least for doctors. Indian healthcare system is superpathetic if working atmosphere , pay, other benefits are concerned .

As stated in the beginning of this video, regardless of the country, it eventually all boils down to resources, money & people. An all inclusive government run health care system has to have a stable ever expanding economy, a continually growing tax base & a growing supply of highly educated / motivated people to keep it running. Ask yourself, does your country have each of these three criteria? Due to the ever expanding size & needs of a country's population & the demands to be placed on the services of an all inclusive, government run, health care system, a country must be able to attract, educate & retain a continually expanding, highly motivated, workforce, large enough to staff such a system, at a rate that will meet or exceed the growth rate of the health care system. Here are the facts. A given country might, depending on its location, natural resources & the academic sophistication of its population, be able to build & sustain a stable economy that might be able to support an all inclusive health care program. Betting that said country, from its own indigenous population, can attract, educate, retain & grow a highly motivated workforce large enough to staff, at an ever increasing rate to continually meet or exceed the growth rate of such a health care system, in my opinion, is completely unrealistic. Regardless of the country, who has enough healthcare providers to meet their current needs? This doesn't even take into account the inherent inefficiency & corruption found in all governmental run programs throughout the world. I admire the principle behind the desire to have an all inclusive free or low cost health care system but when you look closely at what it really takes to run & fund such a system, I don't believe it's more than a dream. Take an honest look at the current & projected economy, tax base & the overall technical / academic make-up of the current populations of the UK or India & tell me it's realistic to believe that all the necessary resources are currently there to implement & sustain an "all inclusive" national health care program. In my opinion, no country will ever be able to sustain a low or no cost national health care system. I think the best any country can realistically do is to develop a government funded safety-net program that provides some level of health care for those unable to afford an insurance based health program. The individual, during their productive years, needs to take some responsibility for planning or obtaining some form of private health care insurance. In my opinion, what the UK had / developed after WW2, the NHS, was never sustainable. It only worked when there was an atypical post war economic boom & an atypically small population.

Strikes begin in march again.

They have had a lousy healthcare system. It’s typical of socialized healthcare they are doing it in US. Government is a terrible administrator of your care.
