That was a case I used to back up about four posts I had previously posted, more or less right before this post. you can't post about that without acknowledging the post where I spoke about my housemates because this was a hypothetical situation to back up the point that they made about national health.

You can't make shit up that is ridicuously wrong, then claim it backs up some hypothetical point you made, and then get pissed that I don't care your UK flat mates are nurses, as if that makes then some type of policy expect on health care in the US.
I have used the US health care system, and am quite happy with it. Most people in the US do not want nationalized healthcare, and if the Democrats keep pushing it they are not going to get re-elected. That's why Bill Clinton shut up about it ten years ago.
Let me illustarate it with a picture. This is how most (as in numerical majority) Americans feel about socialized medicine.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
