    Interesting thread here
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057588743
    on the topic of comparing Irelands health system with the UK one etc. Not surprising, more people who have experience of both systems find the UK not just better, but costs much less.

    Yeah, After Hours is a very reliable source for information on national healthcare systems.

    For any of you who happen to be visiting the UK right now, don't get sick in the next 48 hours:
    The first all-out doctors' strike in the NHS's history has begun in England.

    Thousands of junior doctors walked out of both routine and emergency care at 08:00 BST in protest at the imposition of a new contract from the summer.

    It is the first time services such as A&E, maternity and intensive care have been hit in the long-running dispute.

    NHS bosses believe plans are in place to ensure safety, but say the situation will be monitored closely during the stoppage which ends at 17:00 BST.

    Further all-out strike action is due to take place on Wednesday, between the same hours.

    I was thinking about all this 1916 stuff. The proclamation "cherishing all it's children equally" etc.
    But the fact is we have a two tier health-system with a lot of people stuck on trolleys.
    If there is one thing Britain has that we wish we had it is the NHS.
    Is it worth giving up Irish sovereignty so that all the Irish people can be treated equally in a fair and free health-system?

    Maybe if it was Cuba's health system.

    For anyone who has been to Cuba, you wouldn't want to live in those conditions just to get good healthcare and nice teeth.

    One of the most under-funded, under-resourced national healthcare systems in the world?
