It has come to my attention that in their efforts to get the healthcare reform cancelled, members of the Republican party have told a pack of lies about the British National Health Service. Now, I am not a socialist by any means, in fact I voted Conservative in the last British General Election, but these lies are outrageous and I want to make sure that anyone I know in the States knows the truth about the matter.
Number one: Old people with brain tumours do not get treatment on the NHS. Quite frankly, the British government should sue for liable over this ridiculous claim. I don't even know where to begin. If this was true, I think Britain would be reknowned the world over for just letting their old people die once they are seriously ill, rather than a secret that the Republicans have uncovered with their espionage.
Number two: People with heart disease over 59 are left to die because it would be expensive to give them the drugs. This is just pure falsehood.
Look, the NHS isn't perfect. People have to wait for operations, as they are granted on a 'whoever needs it most gets it first' basis. Sometimes, people have to tough it out a little if they are in no danger of dying from an ailment. But that can be a good thing. We don't dole prescription medicines around like they are candy, and so are nowhere near as reliant on pills as this country. Doctors aren't fronts for pharmeceutical companies, trying to peddle their favourite company's drugs. All prescriptions cost just over £6 each. Our healthcare is officially twice as good as yours according to the World Health Organisation (18th to 37th) and people LIVE LONGER in the UK despite smoking and drinking much more.
Finally, Sarah Palin, the luminary pinnacle of intelligence all should hope to aspire to, has topped her claim that Africa is a country by Obama's health reforms as "evil". WTF how does this woman even get near a microphone.
REPUBLICANS: I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.
