Just in case anyone thinks I'm picking exclusively on America with regard to health care, there's this. Yep. Our government is doing its level best to kill off socialized medicine, just like their role models in the States - the Republicans. Anything they can do to ensure that it doesn't work, they'll do. Then, of course, blame it on the idea that governments (you know, those folks elected by the people, for the people?) just can't actually do anything for the people. At least, not the non-rich people. For the rich they can do anything.
