Do yourself a favor and read this
article by British journalist Stephen Glover in the online version of the UK
Daily Mail. The article's title will give you the general flavor of his view of the National Health Service, their government health care:
I deeply resent the Americans sneering at our health service - but perhaps that's because the truth hurts.
Glover elaborates:
I'd say that under the present system which President Obama is hoping to improve, most middle-class Americans are liable to receive better health treatment than their British counterparts.
He says ask any American who has had an encounter with Britain's NHS, you'll hear:
They cannot believe what has happened to them - the squalor, and looming threat of MRSA; the long waiting lists, and especially the official target that patients in 'accident and emergency' should be expected to wait for no more than four - four! - hours.
Doesn't government health care sound wonderful? Read the whole article, the above is just a sampler.
