and the article. Sorry, whatever it is selling, I'm not buying. Is this one of those deals like the Freepers saying that Stephen Hawking would have died of his ALS if he had been treated under the British National Health system?

As almost everyone who is educated knows Stephen Hawking is British and has survived long past the estimated lifespan for people with ALS. When he read what had been said, he told the press that he had received excellent care under UK's National Health. They kept him alive, as well as he could be, and provided him with equipment to function with his disability that he would not otherwise have had access to.

So, are you simply a person who believes everything they read without independent verification, or do you work for a health insurance company which is paying you to post stuff like that here, or do you truly not know the difference between the U.S. and the U.K. It's true both countries have a "U" in their names, but the UK is way, way across the ocean from us, and even though their health care system is basically government run, it is still a good system.

Bear in mind that here if the parents of the premature baby weren't insured or loaded no one would have moved very fast to save it either. Profit is the bottom line here. As long as no one forgets that when they get sick, they might actually survive the experience if they have the means.
