We love the NHS?

Friday 21 August 09

Last week Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan found himself surrounded by controversy after he criticized the British National Health Service (NHS) on the American news network " Fox News." Mr Hannan was there to give his opinion on recently proposed healthcare reforms by President Obama. When asked what he thought about the NHS, Mr Hannan stated that he, " would not wish upon anyone" and condemned the service. The MEP then found himself facing a massive backlash on websites such as Twitter where thousands pledged their support for the NHS with the tag "welovetheNHS" and placing " I love the NHS" in their display picture.

What do you think about Daniel Hannan's comments? Do you think he was right in to condemn the system? Or do you think he was completely wrong.
