		<description>Not surprising really. The NHS is a socialized system. That is, a politicized system. Government provides healthcare, government responds to votes.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Far more people need primary care than specialty care. Voters remember how easy it was to get the PAP smear and other primary care that would be affordable to most everyone anyway, if all their money weren&#039;t taxed away by government.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Very few people are affected by the year-long wait for a hip arthroplasty.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Majority rules. Same in Canada. You will usually get primary care, though even that is becoming a problem up north. But deliver a preemie, there&#039;s no beds.</description>
