When I think of the "unnamable thread" I think of Okie's in VN.

No. There are plenty of ways to provide mediocre health care without denying it to the poorest people (and keep in mind that nobody in the United States is turned away for inability to pay; it's already illegal). This is what your NHS does, and, as I understand it, one of the more common complaints among people who don't understand economics, why the quality of health care is mediocre.
Dude, if Leafsnail's from the UK, he should know how good the health care is from experience.  From what you've written, I can guess you aren't from the UK (America?), so I don't see how you'd be in a position to rate the UK's health care.

Is this going to become another black hole like the thread that shall not be named?
The a**eist thread?

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

This is totally and completely offtopic.

The thread was derailed in the opening post, so the result is unsurprising really.

I can choose what I want my thread to be about. You don't make the call.

On the other hand, the way some people are becoming personally offended is a problem. This thread is now locked.
