No, both actually - but don't let that stop you jumping to conclusions.
Clearly some NHS trusts are better than others.

No, actually he watched the appalling treatment his now deceased parents had on the NHS with horror and changed his spending priorities in an attempt to mitigate that risk for him, his wife and kids.
Sad? Yes, sad that I felt I had to do it to protect my familiy. Sad that most people in this country don't have the choice. Sad that it's impossible to criticise the NHS despite it's abject failings and multiple cover-ups.
Your previous assertions have been that you don't use the NHS, so it shouldn't come as a surprise when we think you exclusively use private health care. The main point covered is that 40+% of people don't acquire covid in hospital, or the evidence doesn't support that assertion.
And you can take out health care without having to tell us that you do everything you can to avoid paying taxes as you don't like funding the government (the one that it appears you are happy to use the services of). And you then could tone down the 'carry on clapping the NHS and paying your taxes' rhetoric as if you have some superiority over us because you take a different stance. There are over a million NHS staff in the UK, some will be outstanding, some will be appallingly shit, but that doesn't change the 'force for good' that the NHS is as a whole. Sorry to hear of your issues, but the NHS is a fantastic body that needs to have work done but has shown over the last 18 months the value of itself.
