All three of my kids have long standing medical problems and it has always been time consuming as well as occasionally expensive to deal with.

My middle daughter just got a glimpse of how things are under socialized medicine. She is doing an intensive masters at the University of London, so she is eligible for the National Health. She asked for and got a copy of her US records and took them with her when she saw a regular doctor. In the US, as she has moved to various areas, she has always had to visit the doctor, get a recommendation to a specialist, and then go to the specialist to get the prescriptions that have worked well for about a decade. She was pleasantly surprised that in London, the first doctor reviewed her records, spoke to her, and gave her the needed prescriptions - which were cheaper than what we paid on our drug plan.
