The NHS delivers; and does away with a lot of the bureacratic hassle thet can complicate illness in other countries. The NHS does not deliver better medical services than in comparable countries; and it wastes a lot of resources. The NHS remains deeply insensitive to local priorities. For 50 years its mangement under Tory and Labour governments has been medicre at best. The NHS is great; and how much better reults it could deliver with how much less profesional frustration!

Im now 45 The NHS is not perfect, but we in Britain would not be with out it. It keeps this country fit and well. The reason their is so much animosity against a NHS in the US is the power that the Private Health Care Industry has with the political arena, it boils down to money. Shame on America for not allowing all the people of their nation a decent health, they say it is the Land of the Free, Im not so sure. I hope Obama gets this bill through. I am sure a huge majority of the US citizens want this NHS to be aproved in their great country.

I get a check-ups every six months and free flu jabs. If I lived in the US I would probably have been bankrupt by now as I'm married with young children. I don't understand the Americans, who listens to Sarah Palins? she is a joke and Dan Hannan probably has private health insurance like the rest of the Tories who complain about their low paid jobs. Sound like they care more about there earning then the people there suppose to serve! David Cameron get your house in order!! Dan Hannan is probably a private insurance company director! Support the NHS or lose it! its up to you? I was 32 when I had a mild stroke and I can’t praise the NHS enough for helping me to recover. I get a check-ups every six months and free flu jabs.

I never earned a lot of money but happily paid a moderate amount of tax all my working life This gave me peace of mind that if I ever fell ill I would get the best treatment without fear or favour. For many years I didn't need it but didn't mind paying because my contibution helped less fortunate people. In the last few years I needed two serious eye operations and recently had quite a bad stroke. The prompt efficient caring treatment I received from the NHS saved me from permanent disability. Our system is truly marvellous. Right wing Americans should forget trying to frighten people with fears of socialism or even communism. Our system is built on Christian principes. What is wrong with these Americans, they always claim to be a far more Christian country than us yet their actions are selfish, greedy and decidedly unchristian. 47 million Americans without health insurance is a disgrace.
