I only report what I see. I don't make policy. If I did, the first thing I would do is save British Culture from invasion. It is my culture as well.

[hauskalainen]

As a Brit who knows the health care system in the UK very well, the story that this man tells does not seem to ring true. It simply does not take a person riddled with cancer six weeks to schedule an appointment!

I find it interesting that the camera was right next to this guy. I suspect he was a plant, put there to scare people.

@hauskalainen

I filmed this....I live in Woodbury, 90 miles away from New London.

This was the 2nd time I ever videoed Mr. Dodd.

Case closed........

I believe this guy...I hear no good stories about the UK health care system!!

Nada!!

@PALINSMITH

You have never heard a good story, really? Google "hawkings nhs" and you will find one.

Now you can't say you hav'nt heard a good story about the British nhs. :)

The elites always get "special" treatment. Is this the same guy who warned about talking to the space aliens amonst us?

No wonder america's so politically extreme - the world's weirdoes moved there!

40 years in america? Don't come back!

[PALINSMITH]

@SummerHerald

The "wierdos" have been arriving for 400 years. Some came of their own free will, some were forced, but they all come voluntarily now.

It's the only place on planet Earth that freedom is celebrated openly and often.

For most of the world's oppressed peoples, yes, that is Extreme!!

[Dunc89]

The NHS is the best thing about this country.

You left the country 40 years ago? Good, don't come back.

[DrdotJoe]

What a load of rubbish. Sure likes the sound of his own voice !!!

"I left England 40 years ago...!!!!" enough said thanks

[sprPee]

THIS IS BULLSHIT NOW YOU DIE ENGLANDER

[VanDoodah]

@PALINSMITH I feel obliged to point out that almost 100% of the British public supports the NHS. Every industrialised nation in the world besides America has universal healthcare and none of us spend even nearly as much of our GDP on it as you guys do.

Not that any of that will change your mind, of course, because you right wing Americans have been brainwashed into cowering in fear every time one of your fascist leaders uses the word "socialism".

[lizziedavidson1987]

If he left England '40 years ago' he left in 1959- 11 years AFTER the creation of the NHS . Yet he contradicts this by saying that the government was 'creating a lot of social programmes including healthcare' (starting from 0:20) the NHS was thought up at the end of WWII (1945) and implemented 3 years later (1948). This guy doesn't know what he's talking about!

[lizziedavidson1987]

@PALINSMITH I can tell you hundreds of good stories about the NHS; both from personal, family experiences and from friends. You are NOT asking the right people!

@PALINSMITH Stephen Hawkings was saved by the British NHS before he was an elite.

@Dunc89 thats a good little government sheeple.

"I hear no good stories about the UK health care system"

My 62yr old mother had a mastectomy for aggressive breast cancer within 8 days of diagnosis, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, then reconstructive surgery 18 months later. My 64yr old father still receives treatment after the heart attack he suffered 5 years ago. No death panels with hooded Muslims craning over him in Sharia judgement.

Medical bills - NIL. Two positive stories from one UK citizen. Are we learning, Elmer?

[flynn2008]

Only competition and choice can ensure constant improvement while lowering price.

[megamarsvin]

Looking at the responses from actual British citizens on this video I'd say the case for the NHS is pretty clear; certainly there are issues but they are minor compared to the risk of going bankrupt overnight simply because someone in your family gets sick.

A risk that is virtually unknown in the developed world outside the U.S. I might add.

[MrLems87]

Living in the UK 40 years ago doesn't qualify him to talk about it. Waiting lists are nowhere near this bad. No-one is expendable. Someone riddled with cancer would definitely get fast treatment, I have many friends who work in the NHS.
