And the winner is about 145 to 6 in favor of personal responsibility over welfare. People who look to govt to fix problems underestimate the nature of humans (flawed, imperfect, corrupt, selfish, self-centered). Absolute power corrupts. If you freely hand over your life (your health) to bureaucrats you have no guarantee that they will maintain your best interest (Think about population control, 1984, or Brave New World). Sorry to paint a horror movie, but that is the type of power you will or have given up when you invest in a NHS.

Just because there are good stories and good medical practices within a NHS does not mean the system works. Is not a broken clock right twice a day?

Deception is not all false or it would not be deception. It is mostly true with a few tweaks on the facts is what makes it false.

A system that is based on moral accountability (free market) will always in principle be the ideal for any HS. Let’s improve our HS with that principle.

Limit, Shrink, Restrain Government, don’t feed that terrible beast with HS, No, No for God Sake No.
