I’m in England now, where my daughter just gave birth to her first child. There is no way to describe how different the air feels in a hospital where no one is worried about how they’re going to pay the bill.

As of March ‘23, over 7M ppl r on a waitlist for non emergency care in the UK. It’s a 15-18 week wait for an appt just to see a dr. No thanks. forbes.com/sites/katherinehi…

How about when they are ripped apart in the womb? Do you still have this feeling?

So does this mean you are a grandmother!!! What a miserable announcement to make on such an auspicious occasion! Truly what is the matter with you.

We saved our money until we could afford a child. No insurance. Strange how that works.

Maybe you should stay there then.

Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

The NHS is far from perfect, you can wait ages and have to really fight and argue to get anything done. This doesn't mean the US model is better, just that nothing is free. You pay for anything either directly or by taxes. And if you don't restrict by price, you have to queue
