Health care in Ireland should be better, but...

…it could have been worse.  Much worse.

Am I saying that because it’s worse elsewhere, we should be grateful for what we have and not moan about its shortcomings?

No!

Because almost everyone in the world can always find someone, somewhere, who is worse off than they are.  We should always strive for better, but at the same time I think it’s never a bad thing to realise what a privileged life we lead in developed countries.

I remind myself every day what a privilege it is for me to be here.
