More evidence of the failure that is national/socialized health care from our friends across the pond.
Record
numbers of Britons are travelling abroad for medical treatment to
escape the NHS - with 70,000 patients expected to fly out this year.
And
by the end of the decade 200,000 "health tourists" will fly as far as
Malaysa and South Africa for major surgery to avoid long waiting lists
and the rising threat of superbugs, according to a new report.
The
first survey of Britons opting for treatment overseas shows that fears
of hospital infections and frustration of often waiting months for
operations are fuelling the increasing trend.
Keep in mind, folks: this is the sort of health care top Democrats want to force upon Americans.
