    Officials say extreme seasonal pressure on Britain's hospital system means many non-urgent procedures must be put off for weeks: http://abcn.ws/2DZYztO

        socialized medicine means waiting for weeks on a treatment/procedure and having a review board decide on whether or not someone should receive care, what kind of care they should receive, when/how, and what generic medication gets prescribed. #TheyPayTheyDecide

        They are put off because they are not life threatening hence the term non-urgent.

        Or like here in the US, those with unreachable deductibles (the majority of us) will not get the surgery/treatment at all. I’d take waiting a few weeks any day.

        Yup! This is the system we looking to adopt! Instead of fixing a system that created excellence where wealthy from around the world came to get procedures done. Hope our politicians start working together...and/or hire the more intelligent to do the work properly.

        Obvious from the comments that people are confusing a single-payer system with a state-run hospital system.

        There's yet single payer system for ya. Dems will never appreciate free enterprise & the innovation that accompanies it.

        This is Crazy Bernie's government run healthcare system he wants here. Jimmy Kimmel should way in on this to tell us how great it would be.

        There's is a two-tiered system. Govt managed (socialized) for all, but the rich can buy into a private tier with better docs & services. Guess which one Kimmel would choose?
