He had an annual salary package of over $10 million. The average US annual salary is less than $65,000. His company routinely makes life-and-death decisions affecting millions of people, and the company is more interested in making a profit than saving lives. Is this rocket science?

Has anyone done a calculation as to how much it would cost to have a NHS in the USA?
An awful lot of money being spent on insurance, a bit less on the military, it must be possible, surely?
I appreciate such 'Commie' ideas goes against everything the Founding Fathers created the country for.

Those who are dismissive of the NHS , the Police , the Fire Service etc are the ones who erroneously believe that their lives will continue free of catastrophe or crisis .
They are the first to squeal & complain , when they find how underfunded these services have been…nobody is coming !

It feels very much like we're on our own as the country crumbles.

NHS and welfare state was the commitment to the generation that won the Second World War that never again would they be taken for granted

‘Lest we forget’ has been cynically subverted by the conservative press who can’t bear ‘something for nothing’

There are too many ignorant of that history & who believe that they can get ‘health’ cheaper on the open market .
They don’t value anything that is ‘free’ 😡

An insurance based health service is what Farage promotes for Uk. “Believe them when they show you who they are “ - Maya Angelou.

I love ‘House’ with Hugh Laurie but the health system depicted where teams of doctors work on a patient with seemingly unlimited resources is clearly far from reality for millions of Americans.

The bigger joke of that show is he plays a doctor who isn’t motivated by money

Unfortunately the private sector is very much alive in the NHS and has been for years but the NHS does need protection but mainly from the government of the day??

Fastest class conscious event, maybe ever

Private means profit. Private health is about maximizing profit — health outcomes are irrelevant.
