RECORD NUMBER OF BRITS SEEK HEALTHCARE ABROAD

UK TELEGRAPH - (EXCERPT): Record numbers go abroad for health

Record numbers of Britons are flying abroad for medical treatment to escape NHS waiting lists and the rising threat of hospital superbugs.

More than 70,000 Britons will have treatment abroad this year, a figure that is forecast to rise

Thousands of "health tourists" are going as far as India, Malaysia and South Africa for major operations – such is their despair over the quality of health services.

The first survey of Britons opting for treatment overseas shows that fears of hospital infections and frustration with NHS waiting lists are fuelling the increasing trend.

More than 70,000 Britons will have treatment abroad this year – a figure that is forecast to rise to almost 200,000 by the end of the decade. Patients needing major heart surgery, hip operations and cataracts are using the internet to book operations to be carried out thousands of miles away.

• IF IT DOESN'T WORK THERE - WHERE THEY INVENTED IT - THEN IT'S NUTS TO TRY IT HERE.

• YET ALL THE DEMS WANT TO UNIVERSALIZE HEALTHCARE, HAVE IT VIRTUALLY RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT, AND PAY FOR IT WITH TAXES.

• DON'T FALL FOR IT.

• DON'T VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRAT.
