TODAY I HAD A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE... I EXPERIENCED A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM FOR THE FIRST TIME.
After being sick for nearly a full 2 months and having not seen a doctor in nearly six I broke my record and for the first time went to a doctor at the NHS. A lot of Scotts and English complain about the NHS but in my opinion (and pardon my language) they are full of shit. It's not that bad. I would usually wait that long at a doctors office in America, the doctor was great and I didn't have to pay about a billion dollars for my prescriptions (like I would have to in America)... not to mention that I only hold a visa and I am not a UK citizen. Ahhhh I love the UK even more now. -THIS HAS ONLY CONFIRMED MY BELIEF THAT THE U.S. NEEDS A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM - Call me a socialist, laugh at me (and I know some of my St. Andrews friends who read this blog probably are...) but seriously America, it puts you to SHAME.

Since watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" I have been researching citizenship in Spain and Canada. If we in the US do not get National Health care, I will be leaving. The current system is atrocious. Miss you, and I am glad that you are receiving the care we ALL deserve.
