Being English I have nothing but great experience with the NHS and I was astounded at the strange anti-public propoganda going around in the usa!! Thanks for your post, Forest Hey,

We don't let the markets run our military or our schools, or even the local fire department. And health care is at least as important as all those. I am ready to say goodbye to the health insurance industry and hello to Medicare for everyone. Andrea Susan,

Please don't be fooled by the adverts running in the US that claim the National Health Service in the UK is "evil". Most people in the UK love the health system really, and certainly if they were offered the US system they would turn it down. What is evil about a system that provides a good level of health care for all at less cost that the US system (in terms of GDP%)? It still leaves the option for rich people to take out additional health care cover/pay for procedures as they need them. Hi
