I'm wondering if this would be the right thread for a discussion on the health service issues which are being debated in the US at present. I would be particularly interested in Dr Turell's views on this. The British National Health Service (NHS) is being drawn into the argument, and often being misrepresented for propaganda purposes. I've always been a great supporter of the NHS, and consider it one of our great achievements. The situation in the US in which millions of people who cannot afford insurance just have to hope never to fall ill seems awful.
