Shocking British Medical Tourism Numbers

So, golly be gosh, some people flee Britain’s shores, to go overseas for healthcare. Holy fucking shit, Michael Moore said the NHS was God farting cures directly into British citizens, what happened?

Okay, so you’re now ready to think that the NHS is a pile of shit and valiant Britains have to go to INDIA and PAKISTAN, the place we get our shitting online tech support, to get new organs and face lifts (it’s cheap and you can get a kidney no-questions-asked, or just show up with one on ice in a shrimp cooler).

But wait, this post isn’t actually about how the NHS sucks balls. This post is actually about statistics.

100,000 people traveled out of Britain for health care in 2007. About 0.0017% of the populace. Not a shocking amount, and that mental rant you were busy emailing to one overweight, obnoxious documentary director is starting to fizzle.

In 2007, 750,000 US citizens traveled out of the country for healthcare. Or, about 0.0025% of the populace.

In summary, socialized healthcare will kill you, and you’ll have to flee the country to be able to afford care.
