Agreed. Take today for example. Dental care is also available subsidized on the NHS (as in were all entitled to cheap or free dental though it is quite common to go private).

Today I am about 150 miles away from home in city Ive not been to before and my tooth filling collapsed. I went to a random dentist this morning and he saw me within 10 minutes (the time it took to request my medical history from NHS records) and my tooth is now fine! There was no questions about insurance, cost or whatever it's all just simple :D
