Brits fume over Americans who bash Britain's National Health Service

If you think there's been an outpouring of anger at some town halls over health reform, take a look at the response in Britain to Americans who bash the National Health Service.

If you search on Twitter for "#welovethenhs" you can come up with some heated entries like these:

--I'd rather our imperfect NHS than the neanderthal US system where only $$$s buys treatment ... nasty

--I wonder how much Americans have to pay to see a Proctologist, imagine bending over and having to pay for it

--Anyone comparing the NHS to a Nazi death squad is both offensive and offensively ignorant

Even Prime Minister Gordon Brown is getting into the act. Here, according to the AP, is his recent tweet:

"NHS often makes the difference between pain and comfort, despair and hope, life and death. Thanks for always being there."

Britain's opposition Conservative Party is likewise distancing itself from its maverick member of European Parliament, Daniel Hannan, who has criticized the NHS on U.S. news programs.

Conservative leader David Cameron dismissed Hannan as having "eccentric views."

In the paper-and- ink media, The Daily Mirror referred to the United States' high-cost health model by declaring it the "Land of the Fee."

The London newspaper called the "lies and distortions" being circulated in the United States about the National Health Service "truly sickening," the AP reports.

I don't know what bible people are reading here but caring about one another is a fundamental aspect of Christianity.

Every man for themselves is not a Christian concept. Heck, looking out for one another is pretty much in every single religion.

Unlike those against health care reform of course. They're just being patriots.

Are you sure you guys left Europe? I'm starting to believe you were thrown out.

You must be reading the socialist bible written by Reverend Guevara with a foreword by Brother Fidel.

You're right. Religion is starting to sound like a socialist construct.

The Amurkin Bible says we should stone poor people and kick retarded chil'run in the face.
