>The NHS is a socialist anachronism
Always makes me laugh when Americans use "socialist" as a derogatory term. A huge number of people in Europe [myself included] are proud to consider themselves "socialists".
- arethuza 6y agoTo be fair the founder of the NHS did see it as a socialist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan "Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune the cost of which should be shared by the community."
- arethuza 6y agoTo be clear: if the NHS is socialism (and I think it is) then I'm happy to have some socialism in my country.
