Free at the Point of Delivery
The term 'NHS' is often used locally as a sort of a bogeyman, to represent how bad things can become if healthcare became universally free and is fully paid for by taxes.
I must admit I don't really have any first-hand experience with the NHS, so I am glad Dr Crippen has decided to give us an insider's view at his blog.

Don't forget that treatments/consultations on the NHS are free of charge. The most someone ever pays is a £6.50 flat rate for prescriptions - and most people (pregnant, elderly, children, unemployed, chronic illness) are exempt from this.

We call the NHS = No Health System, and there is a more than a good reason for that.
