Whoa, another story of something that could never happen in the U.S., because here, everyone gets all the care they need. It's not like we have fewer doctors or hospitals per capita than most first-world countries.
[No system is perfect, but I agree that the story you link to, Evan, is very bad. We'll soon see whether there is a wide public outcry to dismantle their NHS and replace it with a U.S.-style system. Or whether their infant mortality rates drop below ours. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html ]

It should also be noted this is socialized health care which isn't even on the edge of the table in the current U.S. health care debate.
