Fwiw, Americans hate the “American style health care” with a smoldering, intense passion. We are ruled by ignorant clowns and rich bullies.

If only we could get to an NHS style healthcare.

Can you tell that to the Americans around me?

Sadly, no one can. Propaganda - a giant bus with a lie printed on it, for example - is extremely powerful and effective.

It's well worth fighting for. We pay less than half what Americans pay for better service.

My daughter was born in an nhs hospital, and had complications, they were in for over a week. The biggest expense was snacks (I might have been a bit stressed and feeling helpless). Even parking was cheap.

Yeah. We look at that in wide-eyed wonder. It’s like a dream.

It was a dream in the UK too... until it wasn't.
