Jeebus…
Can someone please explain to me why we should continue with this irrelevant discussion of the NHS vs. … what?
NHS exists because the UK’s laws allow for it. Let them live with that.
The United States of America is not subject to UK or even EU law – not yet, anyway.
Roe v. Wade specifically forbids most of what’s proposed in the Democrat’s socialized medicine plan, which legislates every aspect of the relationship between doctor and patient. The question of that authority has been settled by the Supreme Court – Congress doesn’t have it.
Our Constitution does not give Congress the authority to legislate “free” health care for American citizens. It also doesn’t give Congress the authority to run an insurance business with U.S. Taxpayers’ money.
Arguing over whether NHS is good or not, or whether we want to see a similar (?) system here or not is a tacit agreement that Congress has the authority to do that which it expressly DOES NOT have the authority to do.
This entire line of discussion is more of a distraction than the fact that BHO has never publicly released probative documentation affirming his Article II eligibility to be elected.
Tort reform? Fine. Good luck with that. Free up the market? Yes, that would help a LOT more than getting the government involved. But can we focus on the issue – getting BACK to a market that supports affordable routine health care – instead of this endless pissing contest about whose system is “better”? It’s an apples vs. oranges debate and it will never, ever contribute to a solution.
