I would think the NHS is being strained far more by an ageing population. In fact diabetes alone is costing the NHS
£13 billion! :arm: I didn't expect that figure when I googled it.
Personally I don't think the NHS is going too badly hit either way. The problems it does have seem to me to be far more systematic and deep-rooted than the EU and the solution to those problems probably don't involve the EU either.
