    Brits love to complain about the NHS, and rightly. After 14 years of right wing governments underfunding it it’s on it’s knees.

    However if someone tried to replace it with an American style system we’d make the way the French protest look tame.

      Sorry but I doubt it. Brits are really not good at standing up for themselves. They are replacing it with an American style system, just a little bit at a time. In the last 30 years it’s come about half way, and it might take another couple decades to really finish the job, but I think it’s likely they’ll succeed in the end.
