“When asked if the NHS should be on the table for a post-Brexit trade deal, Donald Trump says ‘everything will be on table’.”

In other words, he didn’t say NHS should be on the table.

Here’s the problem with the National Health Service: it’s essentially a monopoly on health care in the UK. Even the other European countries think it’s a terrible idea, given that in France and Germany, the system is basic care from the government and more advanced care from a variety of health insurers.

Nothing terrifies a Brit more than the prospect of having to pay for his health care. After more than half a century of the NHS it’s always comforting for him to know that the health care he doesn’t get is absolutely free.

leftists want to build fear about trading with trump... he should say, “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. if you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.”

So “everything” = “NHS” to the shameless MSM.

If the NHS is so popular why are they trying to get rid of it?

“Nothing terrifies a Brit more than the prospect of having to pay for his health care.”

I can name a few more:

tooth brushes
regular dental exams

Is Ed Morissey really that stupid?

His first paragraph is journalistic malpractice.

Our master deal maker in chief...

Could you imagine any of the others in his role?
Thank God for President Trump!

Now that Trump’s flat-out put NHS on the table, don’t expect Corbyn to let the issue go. He’s been caught up in an anti-Semitism scandal of his own making, and he’s bungled the Brexit question so far badly enough that voters bypassed Labour to embrace the Liberal Democrats and Greens in the EU elections. Corbyn desperately needs to distract from his failures and his character flaws, and Trump handed him a huge gift to accomplish just that. The Tories will not be thanking Trump in their next national election.

Why should their healthcare system be any of our business?

the Tories want to privatize some or all of the popular NHS, a claim that Tories have denied. Those claims have focused on the pending US-UK trade talks, with rumors that American companies might end up running parts of what is now a single-payer system in the UK.
