Of course, there are imperfections (I believe it is just one particular drug), but health-insurance is also available for those who want to buy it. Prescriptions for drugs for cancers, generally, as well as long-term illnesses, have however been made free of charge. And of course, in any case, such imperfections would ensue precisely from the Government's underfunding of the NHS - to pander to the wealthier tax-payers. Creeping privatisation, notably, here, of the cleaning services, has also led to poor hygiene and the spread of superbugs.

When you get a proper free health-service, make sure that, for instance it covers dental care, eye care and prescriptions - and not cosmetic and services not directly related to physical sickness, such as in vitro fertilisation. Do the job properly.
