Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell and Living in London??????
And so was Joy Gresham (`Nobody wants to treat a Jewish lady`) and Sylvia Plath and Judy Garland and Mama Cass...And Ava Gardner. Even Raymond Chandler, another American...and a great, great one...died ignominiously and without medical attention looked after by locals in an Eaton Square basement flat. (poss the same one as I) Garland died of a heart attack; had obviously been to the local surgery and been told to `take an aspirin and ring me in the morning`; because neighbours recall seeing her and in some distress on the nite that she putatively committed suicide. Why the HELL doesn`t the richest country on earth have an American hospital in London and why the HELL don`t they make a big stink when the British treat Americans like scum in need of medical attention? Instead the Americans force us to travel half way around the world to attend a tribunal which ipso facto exonerates British negligence. Complicity? Who knows!

Answer 1 :
If you don't like it here, you could always go home. You don't HAVE to have medical insurance to get medical assistance in this country. But because of that, many people come here for free treatment, putting a burden on our resources. If all the freeloaders went home (or were charged before they were treated), our NHS might be in a better state than it is now
