Health in english words

A new Michael Moore's film is about to come out.
We are well aware of his thinking-line perspective from previous movies. He is mainly against the US government, its choices, laws and its lack of aid to such an inconsistent society.
Now his recent film is titled Sicko, as it is about the US's privatised health care system. The movie also contrasts the US system with the Britain's free NHS.
What the g2 did in an article was report 16 NHS workers to observe in what extend Moore's film is right in praising so well our free health care system.
It is interesting to see how we, in Europe, criticise so much our free health care system instead of checking the nation "down the ocean", as they have people dumped in the streets because they haven't insurance, or children refused life-saving treatment because their parents can't pay...etc...etc...etc...
The article asks the readers if the British way of medicine is really that amazing? And I say that it is 50/50. Or perhaps 70/100!
We do have doctors when we need to be attended, no matter if we are immigrants with no papers, that issue we will deal with it later. But the person always comes first! Yet, of course there is delays, all sort of problems with nurses and staff, more delays, but having a free healthcare system is worth our taxes as we know that if we have a sudden health, mental or physical crisis, we will never be dumped out of a hospital just because we cannot afford to pay a massive amount of money, which will go to doctors children's cute cars and yachts!
