oh?

Quote:The NHS still does provide teeth straightening for deformities, things like that.  That service seems to still be provided while budget cuts are happening, and according to the articles in those links it seems that there are much more serious outcomes than just teeth straightening not being provided.
Quixotic, isn't it?  Reckon that has something to do with foreign aid?  Are you accusing me of imagining a more competent NHS, or an NHS that at least -appears- to be a rational actor..particularly if itimes were fiscally dire? On that count I may be guilty. I do, though, think that people stop doing -some- stupid shit when their strings are tightened. Not that I think this has to tighten the strings, just considering the possibility as a worst case scenario (and how it pales in comparison to the best case scanerio of those people to whom this aid is to be sent). I don't even get the treatment for dental deformities....and my country has -already- sent 4.5 billion usd....which I can't complain about -at all-.
Quote:So while I'm not an expert at how the NHS works I would take a guess that all services are still provided, teeth straightening, cancer treatment, emergency ambulances, pain treatment.  But how available, how fast, how efficient the general care is, seems to be according to the articles in the links, going downhill and blamed for causing deaths and the closing of hospitals and doctors surgeries.
Their going downhill does not seem, to me, to be related to the crisis faced by the refugees or any amount of euros they might be willing to commit to that cause.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
