How does one completely illegally rob family business, deny business and access through authoritarianism, create more than 40% of the money ever printed and give it to "liberal" backed companies and manage to blame capitalism? I guess it makes sense to those who hijacked and perverted the name liberal to mean sexual relations with the government. For those who aren't interested in communist propaganda, simply look up the word capitalism to know these people are merely actors out to scam you.

Don't worry, @@skybluebrad2781, considering that a lot of our politicians here in the U.K. have tried to turn our beloved N.H.S. into a carbon-copy of your obviously failed for-profit system over the past 75 years or so and have never succeeded the vast majority of us Brits wouldn't put up with such nonsense and those same greedy politicians would be thrown out of office. It will make your all-American head spin at the speed at which we Brits can do things when we're of a mind to. Pshaw, three Prime Ministers in the space of three months means nothing to most of us especially if we get King Charles III on our side. Regarding our Monarch it's they who ask politicians to form a government, i.e. who hire them to do so which means that it's also they who can fire them if they so choose. That happened with Queen Elizabeth II and her 'hiring' of both Bozo Boris and lettuce-head Liz ( Truss ) as well as her son, King Charles III, so he can boot Rishi Sunak out of office just as easily as he 'hired' him, can't he?

@@lesleysidhoum1779, considering that Michael Moore's film " Sicko " was released in 2007 you have to admit that your views are a bit outdated, aren't they? As I said in one of my other comments on here our N.H.S. has been in operation for the past almost 75 years and the vast majority of our population hasn't known any other system of healthcare, have we? Only those of us who are aged well over 80 or in their 90's can remember how things used to be prior to its creation and introduction, aren't they? If any of our Governments think that all of us Brits would put up with their intention to try to turn it into a wholly privatised system such as they have in the U.S.A. then they can think again because we'd all be up in arms against them. As something like that affects everyone irrespective of their ages or circumstances and we ordinary U.K. citizens obviously outnumber them they'd be digging their own graves politically-speaking if they tried to introduce such a system in this country, wouldn't they? Additionally they'd have to completely overhaul the financing of our N.H.S. by getting rid of its current means of financing, i.e. by excluding Income Tax and National Insurance from the mix and then substituting both of them with private medical insurance for all of us throughout our entire lives, wouldn't they? Simply put, as our N.H.S. is exactly that - OUR N.H.S. - and not theirs it's a publicly owned and financed organisation and they'd have to change its status through an Act of Parliament which means that, as with any other Act of Parliament, it has to be signed into law by King Charles III....even if it manages to get through Parliament in the first place that is. I doubt very much if the King would even agree to sign it into place, don't you? If he refused to sign it because he wouldn't want to create discord throughout the entire country his popularity would soar and those same politicians who took it upon themselves to try to pass such a law would end up on the scrapheap of history where they obviously belong, wouldn't they?

When during the Trump administration the bottom 1/5th of wage earners had their incomes rise the fastest of all groups. That was the first time that had happened since the George W Bush administration. Because both Trump and W. used Kennedy's theory of using lower taxes, less immigration, deregulation, and smaller government to tighten up the labor market. Which raises wages, allows mobility, allows for advancement, and gives people dignity. Compare that to the Democrat policies of using high taxes, over regulation, open immigration, and big government to put permanent slack into the labor market. Which drives down wages and drives up housing prices at the same time, to the point tens of millions of people don't have any money left over at the end of the month. And it's the low wages at the bottom that allows the excesses at the top, causing the wealth gap. Raising the bottom 1/5th of wage earners wealth relative to everyone else is something liberals will never be able to do because of their policies. Whether unwittingly or intentionally, Bernie's policies are the cause of the wealth gap. If Bernie actually cared about poor and working class people, Bernie would be a Kennedy/Reagan conservative.

American here, if you let the NHS be privatized untold amounts of suffering awaits you between denied care, receiving poor care, and choosing between receiving care or crushing debt. All this will go on as the healthcare companies bleed you for every last pence you have and will tell you to be grateful.
