As Obamacare comes under fire, Red Cross warns of 'humanitarian crisis' in UK's health service - CNBC



Last week two patients died while waiting on trolleys in corridors of the Worcestershire Royal Hospital.



One woman reportedly died of a heart attack after suffering a 35-hour wait on a trolley, while a man suffered an aneurysm waiting on a trolley at the same hospital.



Adamson said it is clear patients are not being properly cared for.



"We've seen people sent home without clothes, some suffer falls and are not found for days, while others are not washed because there is no carer there to help them.



"If people don't receive the care they need and deserve, they will simply end up returning to A&E, and the cycle begins again," Adamson said.



The leading opposition politician in the U.K., Jeremy Corbyn, has called the situation a national scandal.



"The health service is at breaking point. But this crisis is not due to an outbreak of disease.



"It is a crisis made in Downing Street by this government - a crisis we warned them about," he said Sunday.
