UK's National Health Service ( earners pay for users ) has many flaws.
1] Encourages addiction e.g. of alcohol, nicotine, solvents, heroin : every
addict knows that when his/her resultant sicknesses appear, s/he can get
free repair from NHS @ others' expense. E.g. [i] south of London's
Balham train station @ west side of Balham High rd, every Thursday
morning after getting their dole from a post office, alcoholics buy liquor
from liquor shops then sit on a public bench outside & drink til their
corneas & skin turn dark red : when their kidneys / hearts fail, NHS must
supply free dialysis / bypass, now ¼ of UK NHS users are alcoholics. In
msia, todi shops will get even more business, with NHS. [ii] In '83 in
Clapham South I saw a man openly sniff solvent while walking, & from
the frequent news reports there, I realised that solvent addiction is
common in UK.
Disgust is what non-smokers studying/ working with smokers will feel : not
only can smokers fumigate my lungs, when they get cancer I must help pay
for their treatments ! To hell with MMA's dr.k's "social responsibility".
Chain smokers are 95% of male & ½ of female pribumis in Indonesia, & 70
% of men in China. Nanyang said 60% of alcholics in UH are indians, see
http://202.56.157.127/%7Enanyang/lit/headlines/0103/010315_11.htm
, CAP's own study on samsu agrees : 80% of samsu sold in msia is drunk by
tamils. NHS will sure make msia go in this direction : cigar, cigarette,
beer, samsu, todi & glue makers can then advertise "Now you need fear no
hospital bill, feel free to enjoy my product". If HIV carriers will get free
AZT, junkies will not fear HIV, then NHS will be bankrupted by AZT's cost.
2] Breeds defective genes : couples with faulty genes i.e. cannot produce
healthy babies can have all their kids' defects repaired by NHS, no need to
appeal for help via media. Since msia's population incr by ½ million p.a., I
say let the faulty kids die, or be saved by willing donors, not unwilling tax
payers, because tax rates correlate with unemploymnt.
Pregnant women who smoke ( directly / indirectly ) produce retarded kids,
this is a known fact & the story of a bumi couple I know. NHS encourages
breeding of retarded kids. RTM's films of these kids are <½ as shocking as
BBC's of UK's, broadcasters here should buy & show these BBC
documentaries, then msians can know how bad this problem is in UK, 1
reason why its high taxes cannot drop. Buddhists breath in smoke & CO etc
from jossticks non-stop, must have cancer / retarded kids more than others.
3] Fraud : many dentists ( esp indian ones, exposed by BBC, & incl the 1 who
conned me ) bluff patients that elaborate treatments are needed. Because
patients need pay only a small share of the costs, patients (included me) are
easily fooled into accepting elaborate but unnecessary, & even wrong
treatments, because these dentists want to maximise their monthly claims
from NHS. Subsequently these patients ( included me ) need many remedial
treatments again @ NHS's expense. The wastage of time of patients & honest
dentists, will shock msians. After 6 repairs & 15 hr wasted, I finally lost 1
tooth, all because this crooked dentist wanted to claim more £ from NHS.
I was conned because I [i] did not know a dentist could claim from NHS far
more for a different treatment, I thought he got a fixed salary from NHS [ii]
thought a dentist would not bluff me just to earn £7 more from me : little did
I know that a dentist could collect from NHS £60 for fitting a crown, instead
of just £15 for a filling which was all I needed, as told by a honest dentist 4yr
later. Only 2yr later when I saw a dentist's monthly claims from NHS, did I
know this vast difference & why I was prescribed a crown. Then BBC's That's
Life programme exposed even worse attempted con done by another indian
dentist.
UK kids can get free spectacles on NHS, so many opticians there too make
fake claims, per BBC news. Already a few doctors in msia demand a NHS
to pay their unlimited claims, while they pretend to worry for public's health
: doctors / dentists / opticians can get their relatives to claim to have
received costly treatments.
Private sector underwriters & hospitals must be efficient to compete with 1
another i.e. charge competitive rates, to stay in business, NHS is a monopoly
with a guaranteed & huge income i.e. no need to stop fraud, only needs to
demand bigger deductions from your wage / profit : already SOCSO has paid
out fake claims, bought new cars for its executives, while it demands bigger
deduction from your wage / profit.
