Today, the working British people pay for the NHS through taxation – but receive very little for their money. Only recently arrived migrants (who have never contributed) receive full and free healthcare because the Human Rights Act demands they be treated this way. This is a sure way of destroying a Socialist medical system – as those British without care envy and resent those recent arrivals who receive the highest levels of care. Although the answer should be to return the NHS to “care” over “cost” – this will not happen as the onus is always toward capitalism. When migrants arrived in the 1960s, everyone – British or not – received the highest quality of care on the NHS. Medical treatment only becomes an issue when it is rationed. Of course, I do not know whether the DPRK will charge for medical care – this is an issue I need to research further. Considering how many sanctions are applied to the DPRK by the West – I suppose it would be “just” to charge Europeans – although not strictly speaking acting in accordance with the spirit of Socialism! Medical treatment should be of the highest quality and free for all at the point of use.
