#2 Broadhead6

They are bombarded by propaganda 24/7 from the likes of the BBC about how great the NHS is.

Lots of British people have swallowed the big lie. It's only when you ask people who got ill in countries with market based care to compare that they realise how much producer capture there is.

#3 I don't have the stamina to read through the comments. Whatever anyone thinks of NHS, we are not Brits and Obama is being impaled on his attempts to bring something like NHS to America.

#4 Why am I getting visions of Soylent Green? Some of the dialogue was:

Det. Thorn: You know what, Lieutenant.
Hatcher: What?
Det. Thorn: [tossing back Hatcher's wristwatch] I think it really is broken this time.

This administration is the biggest bunch of looters in the history of this country.

#6 I'm hoping for the best outcome here. Obama burns up his political capital failing to pass NHS.
