DrIn 1948 the British government put a leaflet through the door of every household. It said, in black and white, that: “the NHS will provide you with all medical, dental and nursing care. Everyone – rich or poor – can use it.”

However, more than 60 years later this lady, who had worked for and believed in the NHS, was denied basic diagnostic care because it was the weekend!

As time goes on we are seeing more and more examples of how the NHS promise is not worth the paper that it is written on. This, and many other examples that I have previously written about, should warn the American people that more government intervention in healthcare is not a path that they should take,
