I give thanks to the NHS today, on its 75th birthday. If it weren't for the NHS, I wouldn't be 39, I would most likely have died shortly after birth due to a heart defect.

My second son would have likely died of #Meningitis at 4 months old.

If it weren't for the NHS, I'd either be dead or in perpetual debt to repay the hospital bills.
