In the Land of the Free...A country that considers itself civilised.

I'm never moaning about the NHS again.

Flippin' nora. I can't believe Faux News had the nerve to hold up our NHS as an example of how horribly wrong US Healthcare would go if the Obama reforms got through. US healthcare is already a wreck, if you're one of those set free from employment by the recession.

Still, it's their democratic right to choose to have no health insurance, right? :rolleyes:

You're forgetting that the likes of Stephen Hawking wouldn't have survived if he'd been forced to suffer the NHS... :rolleyes:
