Dan Hannan is a ****ing nobody moron who was paid a **** load of money by your insurance companies to slag off a system that, yes, has its faults, but provides for every man, women and child in Britain.
He's not even a real MP, he's an MEP – Member of European Parliament. He has no power, say or vote on any NHS matters.
FlashLackey, consider this: I'm a single father with three kids. Their mother died of cancer. She was the income earner for the household and had insurance for us. Now I've got a part-time job, as well as looking after the kids, but it doesn't come with insurance, so I'm having to pay for it myself, which I can barely afford for the whole family. I can't afford broadband or to take the kids on holiday. I can only just put food on the table after the I pay the insurance. I have a liver disease, which my insurance company doesn't cover because it's "pre-existing".
In a year's time I will need an operation to remove my liver.
In this circumstance, what would happen to me in the US today? What would you propose?
I don't think, if I were in that position, I would give a crap about TVs or my own room –*but rather than paying thousands of dollars for insurance, I would be able to pay my rent without worry and make sure my kids had want they needed.
In Britain, with the NHS, I would get the care I needed, and so would my kids if they needed it to, but as I only work part-time, I pay £17.71 ($30) a year for that right.
Can you not agree that, in that circumstance, a national health service is better for his family?
