The NHS is brilliant. This clown can sit here saying all this because his pay packet is too big and he probably enjoys private health care. If we lose the NHS then that is where i will probably be looking at moving abroad because it will finally confirm we are being run by a bunch of FUCKING DICKHEADS!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry for swearing). I have never experienced any problems with the NHS, i am seen quickly and proffessionally

The problem isn't with NHS, it's with funding. Socialized medicine is simply unsustainable. Private insurance will give you more quality health care because they have more of an incentive to improve. Private medical insurance isn't expensive if the insurance companies are allowed to compete. Just like car insurance here in the states... insurance companies are allowed to compete freely and it's really driven the cost of car insurance down to an affordable level.

I would disagree with it being unsustainable as it is now 60 years old. The funding is there, though it is used incorrectly and abused by immigrants and foreigners who have not paid their national insurance but will get free health here no questions asked. In the other case if we went private, an elderly person with little money will have paid their national insurance all their lives but now cannot afford to pay private with their national pension scheme and will suffer for it. too many cooks

The elderly wouldn't be hurt at all if it's phased out properly. This is the problem with socialized anything. Once you get started, it's hard to get off. Our social security is 60 years old too, but as you said, it's been abused and misused. Now it's almost bankrupt. It's like going to sea in a ship that's leaking. You have to turn back or face sinking.

Actually I thought it was the Russians who won WW2 ;)

Look, I don't care about the American healthcare anyway. We here in Scotland don't understand why that English politician seems to love to talk down his own country so much.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

Sometimes you have to step up and say what needs to be said to avoid economic disaster. The USA is doing the same thing. Spending us into oblivion. The liberal left just doesn't get it. When we prosper economically, everyone benefits, but they refuse to stop spending long enough to grow. Hannan is a great politician in my humble opinion. We need more like him. I love how he takes Gordon Brown to task. He speaks the truth. :-)

Obama is an idiot!

[msarafraz]

why can't  this man be our president, instead of these losers we've got now

[Catholicism777]

I swear the news is there to scrutinize government officials not lick their arses and just agree with everything they say?

The more I listen to these two, the more I wonder who sports the cleanest backside.

No wonder you love being interviewed by this er! person who seems to be a big fan of the "Mail" nuff said I suppose.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

Apology accepted.

Our health care system is not crap. The problem is, there are people who can afford health care, but choose not to. I have no problem giving health care to those who are physically or mentally unable to support themselves. But we have a welfare state here. The more you give these people, the more they want. I have excellent health insurance. I'd put it up against any plan. I had stents put in my arteries the day my cardiologist found the problem and was back home the next day.
