No wonder you want to respond to it.

I live in the UK and would find it so hard to go back home to the States and have to put up with all the healthcare BS people have to go through nowadays.

Yes, the NHS has its problems but the good far outweighs the bad, and it's such a relief to know it's there for everybody. NHS doctors and nurses literally saved my unborn baby's life in the third trimester of a difficult pregnancy (for which I will be eternally grateful), and at the end of it we weren't swamped with the bills that would normally arrive after a six-week hospital stay.

Yes, we pay high taxes but it's no worse than paying sky-high healthcare premiums. In fact, from what I've been reading here on DU, many of you pay premiums that astonish me!

Sorry to rant and I know this is a topic maybe better addressed in a thread of its own since the original post was just asking about Guardian ownership and not for opinions on socialized medicine.

Anyway, go get 'em NewJeffCT - that letter needs a response!
