"Listen you Yankee wimps, you're missing the point.Now, go visit his sight and read his dramatic post, SPREADING THE DISEASE
Wait'll you have yourselves a State-run health service like ours here in Britain; you'll find out what competition's like, and then some.
The smokers competing with the non-smokers for cardio-thoracic surgery. The hypochondriacs competing with the sick to get to the head of the line to see the doctor.
The old peoples' relatives (and potential inheritors) trying to persuade surgeons to up Grandma's morphine dose to lethal levels 'for her own good' competing with young girls wanting to get their third abortion in as many years (even though the Pill and condoms are given away for free here.)
The drunks in Accident and Emergency on Saturday nights competing with the junkies to meet the doctors whom they will immediately abuse and threaten with rape and violence if she doesn't patch their self-inflicted wounds up and send them straight out onto the streets for more of the intoxicant of their choice - and all because medical treatment is 'a human right' in a socialized system.
Who needs sport when people are competing for their lives and their children's lives with welfare junkies.
