Under UK law, it’s illegal to seek healthcare outside of the NHS.

Ostensibly (this was explained to me by UK citizens, who didn’t necessarilly agree with that law, mind) this is because when you seek healthcare outside of the NHS that care isn’t performed to the high (cough, cough) standards of the NHS and therefore you possibly cause the NHS higher cost later on to correct problems caused by said treatment.
Or that’s how the NHS (and thus the law) reasons in the UK.

And on the face of it, it kinda makes sense, IF the NHS offered great care and had the capacity to fill the full need for healthcare services in the UK, neither of which it can, but both of which it claims to do.

I’m not sure how a similar situation would work in say the US. If you have health insurance, does your insurer have a clause that you’re not going to be get insurance coverage for problems that arrise from procedures performed by doctors not authorised by your insurer? That’d be a similar provision.

As to euthenasia, it’s happening all over Europe on a daily basis, whether it’s legal in the specific country or not.
Where it’s on the face of it illegal it’s just covered up by listing the cause of death as something else, something suitably vague, and quite often the next of kin are unaware and neither they nor the patient ever gave their consent, or they were tricked into consenting by specially trained “end of life counselors”.
They tried to do it with my mother TWICE before she died, once while she was in a coma we had to threaten to call the police when her doctors were determined to remove her from life support because (and that was the stated reason) “we need the bed for someone with a better chance of survival”, second time was shortly after she was diagnosed with cancer when they wanted to talk her into accepting a lethal injection so they could reduce the cost of keeping her alive (they didn’t say it in so many words but that’s what their statements boiled down to).

They never had that freedom, remember.
While they may feel something’s wrong, they never experienced what it’s like not to be constantly pampered and baby’d by the government, not to have someone standing over you deciding what’s best for you and telling you you should listen to your betters rather than deciding things for yourself.

They simply don’t know better, and with the BBC and the other government controled and sponsored media constantly telling them how bad it is in the US, which most of them never have or will see for real, they simply are convinced that anywhere that does have those freedoms is a land of savages where everyone is dirt poor except for the small super rich elite who rule with an iron fist.
And that’s true for not just the US but most of Europe. Heck, even my sister who’s been to the US numerous times and seen for herself how it’s there believes it.
