Trump's new low.... 08:51 - Mar 27 with 2858 views | Keaneish | This may pale into insignificance given the absurdity of everything that happened in the States in the last 6 months but this is a new low for me. Trump calling on people to tune into Fox News to watch the raving lunatic Republican TV show host, who is 'Judge' Jeanine Pirro to side with his policy on the American Health Care Act. I mean, this utter trash TV show is like crack to stupid people. She shouts, she rants, she raves all in favour of Trump and why? Primarily because Trump endorsed her for the New York senator seat some time ago when she ran against, guess who? Hillary Clinton. Now she's returning the favour as Trump's looney mouthpiece with her hysterical, delusional patriotic stance on modern day American politics. For a President to cite Murdoch's staunchly Republican trashy TV channel, to debunk the Republican Speaker of the House and to be so blasé about his affiliation with Pirro, it beggars belief that modern day politics has stooped this low. Rock bottom. Rant over. | |

Yes halth care in the UK is in a pretty dire stater at the moment due to a government that refuses to fund it properly and to eliminate mismanagement and needless cronically expensive outsourcing. Where I live the NHS, Childrens mental health and care for the elderly are all in a critical state with the hospital closing wards and the County Council in trouble over mismanagement of Children & the elderly Disgusting really | | | |

All fair points that are surely more worthy of a thread than another tedious one about Trump which will affect very few people who read this board. | |

I sound like a red because I think the future of our health system in the U.K. needs a national debate? It won't happen though. No political party is brave enough to think past the current system, which is the final remaining sacred cow, and look to how other countries like Holland provide much better health care than we do. | |

Er....what? My point was about the deplorable state of government owned media institutions and their misuse, not about healthcare in foreign countries. In this instance it stoops to new lows where the leader of the free world openly uses institution mouthpieces to turn public opinion against one of the most senior figures in his own party. | |

Yeah, if you pay well over 100 euros a month for health insurance, pretty much what the Tories want I guess? | |

One of the reasons productivity in the UK is so low is down to the government effectively rationing health care in the NHS at the point of delivery. The way in which Healthcare is delivered in the UK is entirely dow to government, it is either incompetence or wilful destruction of the NHS. There are many variables that can be studied e.g in some places you pay for what you get then depending on your circumstances you get some or all refunded. In other places you get partial cover and have to insure the add on's. Here the real issue is that the Private Health is uneconomically supported by the NHS in a number of ways which should stop immediately. | | | |

It is this weird notion that universal healthcare is akin to 'so shall issum' And that you only get what you earn etc kind of dumbness that allows employers to fund a pretty dire patch them up and send them back service - organised on what one commentator refered to as 'a Pet Insurance Plan that nobody in their right mind would sign their pooch up to'. It is perpetuated by the lies that are spread about healthcare elsewhere - much as North Korea tells it's populace that it is somekind of utopia. Anecdotal evidence is that most believe this. | | | |

My apologies. I misunderstood. Have you ever started a thread about the deplorable state of government owned media institutions and their misuse in other countries other than the USA? If not, why not? | |

The future of The NHS is unsustainable what with new treatments and people living longer. Some whole hospital wards are quite literally death waiting rooms full of people that have no quality of life and don't want to live anyway. My Dad had a very aggressive terminal brain tumour and they operated on him by cutting away what they could and installed chemo wafers in his bonce and did all sorts. He was in hospital for ages before being released where he then received daily home visits. He lasted another 7 months and it was great for us as it gave us time to say goodbye but how much did this cost? I have no Idea actually but £100k perhaps? Maybe more maybe less I don't know but i stark reality is it worth the cost if we can't afford it? At some point we need to address the fact that some form of direct taxation or insurance is required. Wasn't National Insurance supposed to be doing this? On a smaller scale I fail to see why we shouldn't have to pay a fiver to see a GP | |
