"If he were not already famous, he would probably be left to die under England's socialized medicine."
Oh please. Hawking started receiving (free) treatment for his condition when he was a 21 year old graduate student. Defending the stupid IBD editorial and attacking straw men like "ZOMG THE NHS WUD KILL HAWKING" makes it really hard to fight Obamacare on the merits.

Thanks. I appreciate additional information. What I really appreciate is a balanced and complete presentation of information. Cherry picked information can do more harm than good. To hear you tell it, it almost seems as though Britain's socialized medicine provides free, complete, and timely medical care for all.

Would you care to fight Obamacare on its merits? In your opinion, what is wrong with Obamacare?
