Though few seem to remember it, Churchill was the father of socialized medicine in Great Britain.

The National Health Service was fully implemented in the UK in 1948. The Conservatives had been out of power for three years then.

It was actually Health Minister Aneurin Bevan who was it's architect.

“Father” was too strong. Mea culpa. But he did support it.
