Healthcare Reform, where can I locate the facts?Follow

The National Health Service has become the butt of increasingly outlandish political attacks in the US as Republicans and conservative campaigners rail against Britain's "socialist" system as part of a tussle to defeat Barack Obama's proposals for broader government involvement in healthcare.

Top-ranking Republicans have joined bloggers and well-funded free market organisations in scorning the NHS for its waiting lists and for "rationing" the availability of expensive treatments.

As myths and half-truths circulate, British diplomats in the US are treading a delicate line in correcting falsehoods while trying to stay out of a vicious domestic dogfight over the future of American health policy.

And these same surveys overwhelmingly show that americans who have health care are very satifisfied with their coverage.

Nobby,



And these same surveys overwhelmingly show that americans who have health care are very satifisfied with their coverage.

Don't bother to mention, we already know, the quality of care or how much more advanced medical care is in general based on what the US health system spends on new research and development is far superior to the UK.

If we weren't spending most of our gdp on social programs bombs, planes and tanks I'm sure our percentage would be much higher.

This further illustrates how stupid liberals really are. Do you even know how much of the GDP is spent on the military? Now compare that with social security, medicare, medicaid, and the numerous other social programs designed to transfer wealth from the producers to the non-producers who they hope to vote for them next time around.

Once again another glaring example of the product of a public education; thank you maji.

colleagues at Kaiser

I just today told a Kaiser exec to go fuck himself at work.

Wait, did Varrus just compare the Military to a social program?
