To offer a few anecdotes of an American living in the U.K., I have been to see my doctor a few times already for bronchitis or other mild illnesses without any issues or hassles beyond paying 7 pounds per prescription. There are no stupid forms to fill out, no dicking around with the insurance company, its just go in, see a doc and leave. As a young person, I cannot hope to afford decent medical insurance on my salary back in the US, so its up to my parents to supply it.

Another anecdote of a scenario I would likely not have seen in the United States:

I was crossing the road when I saw a bicyclist lightly hit by a car making a left turn. Although knocked down, the bicyclist appeared uninjured. After checking himself and his bike over, he shook the driver's hand and went on his merry way.

If he had manifested any injuries later, he could be confident that NHS would take care of him. In the US, the cyclist would have needed to obtain the insurance information of the driver which would most likely start a chain of events to which only lawyers benefit.

It makes me sad that people buy all the B.S. from health insurers as they only hurt themselves and their communities.


Oh and one final F.U. to American insurance companies: I once had a friend take me to the hospital late one night because I was vomiting blood and unable to walk/move. Even though I was rather expensively insured, my claim was denied because my illness was ultimately not life threatening. I guess I should have known better, stupid me. $4000, I can only imagine what the cost would have been had I called an ambulance.

McCain's account was published in US News & World Reports on May 14, 1973

I said, "O.K., I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital." He left and came back with a doctor, a guy that we called "Zorba," who was completely incompetent. He squatted down, took my pulse. He did not speak English, but shook his head and jabbered to "The Bug." I asked, "Are you going to take me to the hospital?" "The Bug" replied, "It's too late." I said, "If you take me to the hospital, I'll get well."

"Zorba" took my pulse again, and repeated, "It's too late." They got up and left, and I lapsed into unconsciousness.

Sometime later, "The Bug" came rushing into the room, shouting, "Your father is a big admiral; now we take you to the hospital."

Before McCain had presidential aspirations he was the first person to question his military record.

I am a war criminal. I bombed innocent women and children.”
John Mcain, 60 Minutes, 1997.

Also, violating the United States Military Code of Conduct isn't usually rewarded with the title of 'War Hero.'

"O.K., I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital." U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973, former POW John McCain

"Eventually, I gave them my ship's name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant." Page 193-194, Faith of My Fathers, John McCain.

Congrats to Wesley Clark for being blunt, and I'd love to see what John McCain's biggest critic, John McCain, has to say about Clark's allegations now.
