Like all the best socialist schemes, it's absolutely perfect - in theory. In practice it will turn out to be another form of control, will result in massive wasted resources, and people that require the care the most will end up being granted the least.

@theclarkhome its not even perfect in theory (in my humble) it rejects private property...thats...so wrong on so many different levels my head could explode....

@thebackbencher666 One of the other things that bothered me in the UK was the MMR scare. I know the jab itself is (supposedly) safe, but the govt. told GPs that if they offered it as separate shots, they'd be struck off. Then parents were told if their kids hadn't had the shot, they couldn't attend school. Then they were told if they didn't take them to school, they'd go to jail for truancy. So parents were told by big brother to give their kids a potentially unsafe shot. Gotta love the NHS.

[thebackbencher666]

@theclarkhome should come up as a video response to this video.

about the "will smokers pay more?" question: The British government pays for smokers health care just by taxing the fuck out of cigarettes. I don't have an opinion about that, but that's how it happens. And just for the record in the UK there are also private health companies that you can go to if you have the money and inclination. You are in no way obliged to have government heath care.

Smokers pay extra for their vice - other people who choose bad behaviors do not pay anything extra and expect, and receive, the protection of their neighbor's tax dollars. The most expensive being irresponsible sexual behavior, which is far more costly to the American tax payer, as it causes a long chain of other costly social problems that go on in perpetuity.

wanted ppl to rat on each other is just another example on how thinned skin Obama is.

[theclarkhome]

@titaniumslug Yeah - except in Britain we're *always* obliged to pay for the government health care via taxes, even if you opt to pay for additional private health care on BUPA. Too bad you can't say "Hey Mr Prime Minister, I'm buying my own health care now, so much refund do I get on my NI contributions?"

@Freshhhhh1982 Lived in UK until about 4 years ago. I have a sister, a couple of aunts, 3 uncles and various cousins who are doctors. The system in the rest of Europe might be okay (I didn't experience it) but the system in the UK was awful when I was there last. Managers outnumbered nurses+doctors by 3-to-1. Waiting lists were huge (neighbour waited 18 months for a knee-op), and the amount of annual wasted money in a month could've paid for the entire war in Iraq.

@theclarkhome How do you figure that. All European countries have it and it has worked out great. Thats why we have higher life expectancies.
