Reality Check

Funny, the leader of the British Conservative party has come out foursquare behind the National Health Service. The idiot American Republicans claim it is a dysfunctional system that shuttles people off to an early grave. The Brits don't like this and they are standing up to say "quit lying about our heath serice! ours works and we are proud of it!"

From the Financial Times:

The fractious British political classes have united in defence of the UK’s healthcare system after it has become a byword for the failings of universal, state-funded provision among the US Republican right.

Gordon Brown, prime minister, and David Cameron, leader of the Conservative opposition party, on Friday both declared their commitment to the National Health Service.

...

But in Britain, where since 1948 all citizens have enjoyed free healthcare from birth to death, the attacks are widely seen as wrong and insulting.

Such is the strength of public support for the NHS in the UK, that the two main political parties have agreed to ring-fence its expenditure in the coming years – in spite of cuts to almost all other departmental budgets.

Mr Cameron, who leads the Conservative party, once headed by Margaret Thatcher, on Friday described the NHS as one of the UK’s “great national institutions” and said the service was his “number one priority”.

That's the truth, but the right wing wingbats in the US can't handle the truth. They live in lala land.
