A Department of Health official said the number of patients seeking treatment abroad was a tiny fraction of the 13 million treated on the NHS each year.
Waiting times had fallen. Almost half of patients were treated within 18 weeks of seeing a GP. Most people who had hospital care did not contract infections.

as opposed to life-time debt for not having any money to pay for medical costs (or having no insurance).

i'll take the NHS.
