Mr Workmonkey, American healthcare is not great. I concur…but public healthcare in the UK doesn’t work either. So what is the right way to reform it? I don’t know but it’s not the NHS route, that’s what I know. What I see as the problem is too hard of a shift towards socialism as some kind of panacea. Make no mistake, it’s not….and the NHS has proven it. And how did you find out about my arse rash…do you have spies?

As with most topics, you are uneducated on the topic. The plan in the US will offer a public option in addition to a private option. So you can continue to get your ass rash checked out. The difference being now people who don’t have private insurance can also get checked out. Secondly, the NHS might be going bankrupt, but so is our nation, attempting to pay the costs associated with private insurance. Thirdly, when is the last time you used your private insurance? I supposedly have one of the best private plans around, and my knee surgery still cost me well over $1,000, and now they are trying to prevent my physical therapy and charge me an additional $3,000. Whatever illusions you have about American healthcare, I can assure you, it is worse than NHS. Or, at the very least, more expensive.
