[BattyDem]

It seems the citizens of the UK are pretty pissed off with the bad rap their health care system is getting.

First Canada, now the UK. The US really knows how to make friends and influence people, don't we? :eyes:

6. Some great tweets in support of the NHS

"They keep me alive. For free."

"NHS = National Hero Service"

"Know this, Republicans. The most rightwing British politician wouldn't think of dismantling our health service."

"US Republicans talking out of their a%$es about the UK NHS"

"Old? No family? No need to worry! NHS'll put you up and treat you with dignity and respect"

"The nurses for the NHS are angels in disguise."

"#welovethenhs because I have no interest in 'choosing' my healthcare provider."

"#welovethenhs because, on some level, it shows that the British still care about one another."

"#welovethenhs because lives are more valuable than bombs"

"people would not debate the necessity of a state funded police force, why should health care be a different case?"
