Sorry Britain, The Colonies Ain't Buying Your Healthcare Either

This is the kind of stupidity found on both sides of the pond. Britons are trying to defend their health care from US criticism, it ain't working and they are particularly loud about it. The reason why can usually be found in the same articles in support of their health-less care system. For instance, in the article at the link above they put the reason at the end of the article, probably hoping we hyper Americans wouldn't get that far and not see how shitty the brits system is.
It says at the end of the article, "British officials acknowledge that their system has been struggling to cope and faces a 15 billion pound ($24 billion) deficit. Hospitals are often overcrowded, dirty and understaffed, which means some patients do not get the care they are promised."
The other thing that I would like to point out about the British health system is that they don't keep statistics regarding who died because of denied care, rationed care or because of the long waits for care.
The fact that Britian would even jump into this fray makes me laugh, you idiots haven't brought your A-game in 200 years since we shot us some red-coats. You think your system compares to the greatest medical system in the world here in the United States. Ours has produced more medical break-throughs, more life saving techniques and the funds to do the research for such, compared to he medieval status of yours. Yours, has a deficit and filthy hospitals that are understaffed. At least compare apples to apples, not apples to peach pits.
One humorous thing was the article the Guardian posted in support of NHS in Britain, "'Evil and Orwellian' – America's right turns its fire on NHS". They talked about Britain's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice). Yep, Britain actually has an Orwellian Ministry of NICE!!! Does it get any better?
Don't feel bad ya limey's, we feel the same way about the Canadian system, whose only claim to fame is their excellent helicopter service... which we've had for 20 years prior to their implementing it.
Hoping change comes to the White House...
