There's an article on the New York Times website about the controversy over patients -- particularly cancer patients -- who want to pay privately for parts of their treatment (by purchasing drugs the NHS won't cover, for example) while receiving the rest of their treatment at no charge on the NHS.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
