Since I wrote the last post, David Cameron (the leader of the British Conservative Party) has had to undertake a damage limitation exercise after a Conservative MEP (Member of the European Parliament) went on American TV to rubbish the
National Health Service.

Over here, you see, even Conservatives (which roughly- very roughly- translates as Republicans) think socialized medicine is a good thing.

I just think that calling them 'Death Committees' is not conducive to a reasoned debate, and anyone from the Right arguing that their reasonable points aren't being heard should perhaps consider that.
