Once again (indeed as almost always) McGrath is right. It is frankly unthinkable (on a world scale) that any allegedly civilised country should be prepared to let people suffer and die so that insurance companies and drugs companies and private hospitals can make more profit. It is a gross obscenity, and the comparisons above of a proper national health service with a wish for a better house demonstrate a loathsome want of conscience in the utterers.

From each according to their means: to each according to their needs.

It has to be admitted however that the only presidential candidate with a real grasp on the healthcare needs of the USA was Kucinich.

I can only agree with the form of words - if not the meaning of the usual utterers: "God save America".
