What do people expect from a system designed for an age where life expectancy wasn't even 70 and for those lucky enough to live longer than that and get late life illnesses there were not the great many expensive treatments there are now? What do people expect when the NHS was created in an age where people were able to look after themselves and didn't waste GPs and A&Es time with minor ailments they can deal with themselves; we often hear about winter flu crippling the NHS, but last time I checked flu is rarely something that requires a visit to hospital, last I checked it's something that you sit at home and wait to pass? What to people expect from a system so great that pretty much nobody else has thought it good enough to copy in its near 70 years?
