Expats in the UK: NHS Experiences?

A freelance journalist recently contacted me about doing some interviews in relation to a couple of pieces he's doing about American expats in the UK. Specifically, he's looking for experiences you have had dealing with the NHS, especially concerning major health problems / procedures, and your opinions of how this compares with your experience of the American medical system. I imagine he could be tapping into a rich vein here, no pun intended.

If you're willing to be interviewed, the journalist's name is Kabir Chhibber and he can be reached here.

NHS is worst medical system in the world. Why? Because smoke-and-mirrors would have you believe it is a quality medical system, but is in fact pants. White middle-class doctors are inept and just in it for the money. Treat patients like dirt.

You can compare the NHS with the Amendment II of the USA constitution...

It's fundamental to our society and its existence safeguards our future.

Unfortunately, a lot of people end up left dying on the floor because of it. :-)
