What is St David's Day
St David as a Celtic monk, abbot and bishop, who lived in the sixth century. He was the archbishop of Wales, and he was one of many early saints who helped to spread Christianity among the pagan Celtic tribes of western Britain. David said to have been of royal lineage. His father, Sant, was the son of Ceredig, who was prince of Ceredigion, a region in South-West Wales. His mother, Non, was the daughter of a local chieftain. Legend has it that Non was also a niece of King Arthur. But David is a very kind man, he ate only bread and herbs. He founded a monastery wales, and it is still there now. There are many stories about St David. It is said that once he rose a youth, and milestones during his life were marked by the appearance of springs of water. It is claimed that Dewi lived for over 100 years, and it is generally accepted that he died in 589.

Health in Britain
Health care in Britain is unequal although there is NHS in the country. Generally there are five things which are gender, social class, ethnical, region, and allocation of resources made the inequalities.
Different genders take different health care in UK. There are three main things: medical research, acessing to health care, and quality of care. Most of the major studies on CHD in UK are using the sample predominataly male, and male have advantage when acess to health care and they have better quality of care than female.
Different social class take different care in UK. There are hospital health care, private care and public care. The people in upper social class have the better care than middle class and working class. They can have their private health care but the middle class and working class couldn't do that.
