Daniel Hannon is a Conservative Member of the European Parliament.

Despite Fox News' attempts to suggest otherwise, he is not representative of the views of the people of the UK, nor of politicians.

The National Health Service is considered by the significant majority the UK to be a National institution that we are proud of. If any major political party went into an election with proposals to make changes or financial cuts to the NHS they would be committing political suicide and almost certainly lose the election.

    I baffles me that people can't imagine that, a thick supportweb and a free market economy can/will coexist.

    Let me guess, they were mostly young and healthy. I'm Canadian. My uncle died 5 months into a 6 month waiting period for carotid endarteriectomy (~90% stenosis). In any functioning system, that operation would have had a very high priority and he would have been operated within days or weeks, not months. Stories like this are very common. Our system is not as great as young healthy fanboys would have you believe.

    Simple. We're one of the most religious countries on earth and that also makes us populated largely by idiots.

    We believe a guy rose from the dead 2000 years ago because somebody told us it's true, that mindset allows us to believe that free healthcare for everybody will have the gov't pulling the plug on grandmas because somebody told us it's true.

    I have friends in canada, scotland and england. I met many people from canada and england in college. Every single one of them loves their healthcare system and is absolutely horrified at how terrible ours is.

    I can agree with this: public housing necessary, private housing the preferred alternative Of course private health care is probably better when it has to compete with low cost public health care, by actually providing an extraordinary service worth the extra cost.

    I am happy to live where I live in America, but I am disappointed at the tenacity with which we hold on to the cancerous health care "system" we currently use. We are entrenched in broken markets and cannot dig ourselves out and into single payer soon enough,

    I like my healthcare system in New Zealand, although my family is fiscally fortunate enough to be able to use private healthcare, and my personal experience with the public healthcare system was quite frankly mediocre at the least (incorrect diagnosis, inadequate treatment), but I disagree with the privatization of the healthcare system (initially through the Accident Compensation Corporation), instead, there needs to be further improvement of it, and the private sector will not solve it.
