ALL the miserable, moaning gripers who go on about our Health Service make me so annoyed. All I can say is go and live in America the " richest country in the world", where no health service exists and ordinary folk who can't pay don't get the drugs or medical attention that's needed.

I am old enough to remember life before our wonderful health service came into being. When, if you were ill, mother treated you at home and many children died or were permanently damaged through TB and other diseases that were not found until too late. Good old days? No, you people who moan and groan don't know your born.
