I think this is what those heartless American insurers would call a pre-existing condition:

A paedophile with a 30-year history of abusing children is being prescribed Viagra on the NHS – and there is nothing the authorities can do to stop him.

Meanwhile, whether or not you’ll be sicker under government health care, the staff certainly are:

Annual NHS sickness levels are 10.7 days a year per employee – higher than the public sector average of 9.7 days and 50 per cent higher than the private sector average of 6.4 days.

Good luck “cutting costs” with those numbers.
