Looking at it from the UK, I'm baffled at the opposition to Healthcare Reform in the US.
For the vast majority of US citizens, nothing will change except their cover will be more secure (none of this 'pre existing condition' crap)
And for the minority that just plain old couldn't afford it - now they won't have to. What could be wrong with that!?
The rhetoric I've heard on American TV channels shows either a total disregard for those less fortunate in your society, or wilful ignorance about what these reforms are all about.
The UK's National Health Service isn't perfect, but it's free. For everyone. Rich, poor, or destitute. If you need heathcare it's there. If you want to upgrade, you're perfectly entitled to if you can afford it, but if you can't you'll still get a damn good service.
