Question: British members of GWS has nationalized healthcare been good for men’s health? Women’s health?
Real question-
When the government runs health-care does that effect your ability to pursue malpractice suits?
Can you still sue doctors and hospitals or do you wind up having to take on the government directly?

The answer in the following:

It is very difficult to even make a complaint against a member of the medical profession over here. They close ranks because they all piss in the same pot.

Answer by Rowdy M
In all nationalized health care systems, more money goes to women’s health than men’s health even though the men have higher age-adjusted death rates in all major categories. That is, they tax the men to pay for women’s health.

Feminism – it’s the new KKK.

With the NHS, what still matters is finding a good doctor in treating you.
Finding a good doctor is like finding a good plumber, as many people’d say.
You also would need to live in an area with a high population, because when an economy goes bad, most small isolated hospitals are hit the worst. You’d come running in and find out that everything is filthy, the doctors don’t even have a drop of soap by their sink, and that is, if there are enough doctors or even nurses to treat you.

We only have one hospital in two towns, and it’s still hit massively hard from the economy back in the 80s. No one goes there unless to pick up medication or just happening to be in the ER while comatose. Otherwise they’d start shrieking at the paramedics to NOT dare take them to that hospital.

I still remember how one woman took a case to the top dogs of the NHS with complaints on how they just let things go. She demonstrated how when she was in labor, she was stuck in one room with four other women in different stages of labour, with ONLY one nurse to try to attend all of them.
Of course, she was ignored.
Plus, there have been shocking cases, where some NHS doctors were happy with lying to their patients in the face. There are several people who have check ups, and happily go home thinking they are healthy, only to die inexplicably months later in realisation they had cancer.
The doctors who had done this, did it in a ‘Nah, if I told her/him they’ve got a tumour, the treatment would be too expensive for them’. attitude.

Yeah, as if they know.
The NHS is a free thing, you go there in hopes to get something looked at, but at the end of the day, smart people go find a private doctor, have them reanalyse the report, and pay for the treatment. Because otherwise you’d either fall into the ‘kept in the dark’ scenario, or get some infection or badly done treatment due to lack of professionals and workforce.

I’ve heard they’re doing much better now, and I’m glad. Luckily I’ve never got sick or injured enough to resort to the doctor for years, but we all still avoid my town’s hospital.
