About care in the UK: We visited family in the UK this summer. The cousin we stayed has had a quadtriple bypass. He was very pleased with his care. Our cousins like their system for health care. We often hear otherwise, and we too, were surprised to hear from and live with real people who like their system.

The year we had such a shortage of flu shorts, we happened to be coming through Victoria Station. They were offering flu shorts in a little clinic there.
