Health issues in Britain

After this class, I want to identify what is the different health system between with UK and Taiwan?
People can go to see the doctor when they are ill in UK. But, there are many problems in this social organization. Although they can see the doctor by free, the patient always wait the longest time to see doctor than other countries.
If you want to say what is unfair, I think class system is unfair. High-class people, they can live in luxury, and they can get the best medical care. On the other hand, lower-class they can not get it. So, I say it is not fair in UK.
I often go to hospital in Taiwan, because my first job is an insurance salesman. We can go to see the doctor usually, because Taiwan is the only one country has the " Bureau of National Health Insurance "
http://www.nhi.gov.tw/english/index.asp. Everyone takes their NHI IC Card, they can go to the hospital anytime. And they always bring many medicines, so it waste social cost. But, we can see the doctor anytime is our advantage.

Hello Jason

Thank you for commenting on the health care in Britain.

Were you able to find any examples of unequal health care in Britain? When you say patients have to wait a long time in Britain, how do you know? How much time do they have to wait? Are you talking about waiting time in the A&E in a hospital, or at the clinics?

I ask so many questions, don't I??

Annie :-)
