To be honest AoO we moan and bitch about it but on the whole it provides free health care at the point of delivery, ie you can visit your doctor or a hospital without having to have your cheque book in your pocket or having to take out a second mortgage.
There is a growing issue with the huge waves of immigration, (both legal & illegal), that is overloading the National Health Service, (NHS), in some places.
These people, without having made any contribution into the pot, can use the NHS, without any questions being asked. Some of the native Brits are none too happy with this, particularly when a Judge last week said that an illegal immigrant who could not be sent back, (he pleaded to stay as he said to go back would endanger his life and therefore breach his Human Rights!), must be allowed free access to the NHS otherwise this would also constitute a breach of his Human Rights.
Basically the European Human Rights Act is causing severe problems in dealing with criminals & illegal immigrants - they all quote it, its like a "get out of jail" card!
Now the failed asylum seeker we can't deport is given free NHS | the Daily Mail
