Typically hysterical news clips from America this week about healthcare reforms. Little in the way of factual presentation, but the usual advertising campaigns stirring up placard holding right wingers who "don't want to be taxed for other peoples illness"
How enlightened.
They are at least comparing themselves to other nations, typically European but call these "socialised healthcare" like it is a bit of a dirty concept. The case has not been overly helped by YouTube political sensation Daniel Hannan who had one clip of "I wouldn't wish the NHS on any country" as part of the "debate".
So I feel sorry for Obama, clearly wanting to help the millions with no access to expensive healthcare insurance - America always has a fend for yourself attitude that comes to the fore. Of course the media do not help by focusing on the extremes to get their story.
