British people have died waiting for an operation while health-tourists get bumped up the list because they are leaving the country soon... that is shockingly bad. Plus the 500,000 we get a year who arrive illegally from all over the world claiming asylum or whatever. Then they get their free house and car and benefits to make them feel at home while they are kicking old ladies out of their homes and into shelters because they are not as important. My government is ruining my country by neglecting the British people who live here and work here and pay our taxes here.

Reeaallly... I had no idea Eastern Europeans could go to Britain for free healthcare... that is one economically integrated Union! Of course... the 'health-tourists' probably spend a bit of money while they're there, but I'm sure that doesn't offset the cost of an expensive operation. Interesting.
