Nigel Farage: Immigration ‘Population Crisis' Causing Problems for Britain's Public Healthcare

[Townhall] Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage identified high immigration levels as a significant factor contributing to financial issues related to the British National Health Service (NHS). While introducing a segment on Fox and Friends, Steve Doocy mentioned protestors in London who wanted more money for their country’s NHS, "the same universal system that Democrats have continued to push for here in the United States."

Farage, a Fox News Contributor, explained that his nation has "a population crisis caused by government policy on immigration," noting that it adds five hundred thousand people per year, "so we with a population of 65 million are now increasing by half a million people every single year, over three quarters of that directly attributable to immigration over the last few years." He continued, "And the problem is, you know, we just haven’t got enough hospitals, we haven’t got enough doctors, we haven’t got enough facilities, that’s one problem we’ve got."

Pointing to what he considers another large issue, he said, "the National Health Service has kinda moved into becoming the International Health Service." He said the country is "providing a lot a healthcare for people coming into Britain from all over the world."

He averred that the system requires "some absolutely fundamental reforms," noting that it "was set up in 1948, and actually, surprisingly, for a state run thing" people for many years "had great faith in it," but "right now, it’s pretty much at breaking point."

#1 It should be called the interNHS.

Sack staff who treat foreign nationals who do not have insurance.

Entitlement to treatment should be checked, yet it is not.
