Just come in recently? I don't know what youz are so worried about, it's fine in every other country, and an NHS doesn't mean there's no private medical firms.

But what we have now works better so why change it? Its all for political reasons, the Democrates are doing it because its what they want even if its not for the better of the country.

Medicaid,Medicare been around since 1965. However I'm on it and love it but it's only for disabled or elderly. A broad socialized medicine waiting for doctors and having a age cut off date is outrageous. The main drawback is how it's making countries go broke. US system was not great but I'd take the whole greedy insurance over socialized. I'd be dead under obama care and in 4 years if my mom get's sick,she's SOL.

Not going to get into a 9 page argument and novel sized posts. All I have to say. It pisses me off I may lose my mother due to this bullshit of an age cut off.

lol, wtf? This is the Stephen Hawking incident all over again...

In perhaps the most amusing effort to discredit US President Barack Obama's plan for nationalized health care - if not the most ridiculous - US financial newspaper Investor's Business Daily has said that if Stephen Hawking were British, he would be dead.

"The controlling of medical costs in countries such as Britain through rationing, and the health consequences thereof, are legendary," read a recent editorial from the paper. "The stories of people dying on a waiting list or being denied altogether read like a horror script...

"People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the UK, where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless."

The paper has since been notified that Hawking is both British and still among the living. And it has edited the editorial, acknowledging that the original version incorrectly represented the whereabouts of perhaps the world's most famous scientific mind. But it has not acknowledged that its mention of Hawking misrepresented the NHS as well.

"I wouldn’t be here today if it were not for the NHS," Hawking told The Guardian. "I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived."

The best you can say about Investor's Business Daily is that unlike US radio talk host Rush Limbaugh, it has not compared Obama's health care logo to a swastika.
