just like guns, i learnt a long time ago that there's no point talking to americans about healthcare. there's a blind spot there that'll never be cured. the american government spends more per head than most countries with health free at source yet still people die or go bankrupt because they can't afford the bills.
at the same time i'll guess these cuts are because of the lack of respect nhs users and providers have for public money. they never seem to figure out that ultimately it's their money and their neck on the line when they charge $1000 for ten toilet rolls.
