Heres some comments that have made it to my side of the alantic
The NHS leaves people to die.
Hitler was a socialist (therefore a communist)
socialised medicene means that the government gets to decide if to treat you or not
doctors would get paid hardly any money

My statements would only be an opinion because I do not live across th big pond with you.
Does not leave people to die.
Hitler was a fascist with leanings that were perhaps socialist. Communist? I don't think that.
The proposed health care reform here in the US would mean that the government would give a list of coverage that is the minimum that any health care provider MUST provide. It does not exclude pre se.
Not sure about your side of things.
Doctors pay? Who knows. Health insurance and drug CEO's? They make way too much.

Thanks, at least your informed about your arguements unlike some right wing ranters. Just for your information on doctors pay in a socialised system. A GP earns a minimum of ?90000. (which is approx $148,553) which is about the same as a average doc in the US however many are earning well above that, with some GPs working for the nhs earning over ?250000 ($412,571)
The UK industry has discovered and developed more leading medicines than any other country apart from the USA (which is 4 times the size), and as much as the rest of Europe combined. Some 15 of the world's current 75 best-selling drugs were discovered and developed in Britain. So socialised medicine doesn't quite stilf the development of drugs. (GlaxoSmithKline is the second biggest drug company in the world)
