Britain healthcare: British fear 'American-style' healthcare system - latimes.com


Interesting. The key difference in opinion between the U.S. and England is probably the overly litigious society that is America.

What? They are afraid they will have to pay a little more out of their own pockets? Instead of having OTHERS pay for them? Typical liberal mindset.

America's 'healthcare' system is not the model for anyone.

They do pay. The system is financed through taxes.

Well let's be honest; if we - as Americans - were to start again, and design a healthcare system for ourselves, the one we have now would be nowhere near the debate. It's just not workable anymore. Only a crazy person would argue in favor of the status quo.

Brits are clearly more afraid of visiting the dentist than Americans.

LOL @ Europe's fear-mongering over US healthcare.
