Quote of the month.

    I totally agree. In the states, the president (falsely, I might add) said that ANYONE who wanted a COVID test could get one. At that time, there weren't enough for even the desperately sick people, much less for anyone who wanted one. BTW, when the person actually DOES get a free test and is found positive, they are moved to a hospital ward and immediately charged for any and all procedures. The cost for a stay in these hospitals is astronomical, upwards of $100,000.00 (USD).

    You are very blessed to have the NHS. My husband is originally from the UK, and we talk regularly about the inhumane and dysfunctional nature of health care in the US.

    @Bluebeard and Elizabeth, COVID patients aren't all taken to the hospital--there are far more positive cases than there are hospital beds. The vast majority recover at home.

    I so agree. The U.S. insurance system is so screwed up. I'm grateful you have the NHS.
