It is not equal in that there are two tiers of medical care in Britain, either private or national. Social class has collapsed in Britain. Wealth is now equated with class, rather than class being a separate thing. One can be upper class and poor, yet most people would not see that person as belonging to the upper classes anymore.
Those that can afford it, or have medical inurance (which again equates to affording it) can go to a private hospital and pay for speedier service (both not having to wait for an operation for months, and also in terms of the actual operation), better service (e,g, having a room to oneself) and overall a more pleasant time.
If you use the National Health Service (NHS), then I would say that overall, the service is ignorant of class. However, for things like transplants, wealth can come into the equation. The more wealthy someone is, the more healthy they are likely to be. Those who are on waiting lists for, say a heart transplant, have to go through criteria to match whether they are the most suitable for a heart (as there are so few around). You have to be ill enough to need a transplant, but not ill enough to be a waste of the heart. Further, you are selected on what benefits you may gain, so a younger, thin patient is more liely to get a heart than an elderly fat one.
The difference in private and social health care is a choice for those that have that opportunity. They pay for both services, the private out of their own pocket and the national through taxation. The difference in social class allows or bars a person from this choice.
To the guy who said that the government spends more money on richer areas, that is patently untrue. Urban redevelopment programmes see far more money being poured into ghetto turn around than nice areas have spent on them. You might find, if you bothered to look, that it is the locals that spend their own money on their private property and that tends to increase the look of an area. Further, those in richer areas often contribute (or are forced to contribute via covenants etc) to the upkeep of local communal-use areas, like communal gardens.
Sadly, the government has forgotten to look after the middle classes in England. it is besoted by those with lots of money, and those with nothing and has left the white middle classes to foot the bill for everyone else. Too scared to annoy the big boys with limitles sums of money with high taxation etc, and too willing to pour money into ghettos and inner city areas who do not thank anyone for anything, the middle classes are made to suffer the burden of carrying the country, often so that people who are not even from England can benefit. That seems a little unfair to me.
