In other words it is two tier by stealth. The NHS is a "patch them up and send them home" plaster service where only the cheap treatment is given and minor ? ailments like hip replacements, varicose veins, popeye thryroid, rheumatism, ingrowing toenails, dental crowns, etc are not treatable on cost grounds. You have to go private or wait until it gets more serious and a hosiptal bed is vacant.

Neither my family or myself have had anything but great service from the NHS ....... and that's with arm ops on a young man (me) , cancer ops on my folks, Aunts, Uncle & general care.

First of all a hip replacement is MAJOR surgery costing the NHS a large chunk of money, my aunt had excellent treatment from the NHS with regard to her hip replacement, had it done within 8 weeks of referral at a specialist centre for arthritis care.

The price of Hip replacement surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Yes, you've got it absolutely right! It's all down to greed and money now. I don't know why the labour party is called socialist anymore.
