Two British women have claimed they were duped into becoming the stars of a campaign to sabotage Barack Obama's healthcare reforms. Furious Kate Spall and Katie Brickell claim that their views on the NHS have been misrepresented by a free market campaign group opposed to Mr Obama's reforms in a bid to discredit the UK system.

Their anger came amid a growing backlash in the UK over the portrayal of the NHS by conservatives in America, with David Cameron and Gordon and Sarah Brown joining an online campaign to defend the British system from attack.....

.....Katie Brickell: "The irony is that I campaign for exactly the people that socialised healthcare supports. I would not align myself with this group at all....The NHS let me down and I just wanted to make the point that people should not rely solely on it. But what I said has been skewed out of proportion... My point was not that the NHS shouldn't exist or that it was a bad thing. I think that our health service is not perfect but to get better it needs more public money, not less."

3. Obama's health insurance reforms never came to close to

offereing a UK style system, many ads were run to fight against a SP system, even though the Dems had already taken that idea off the table.
