I’m in the US and I saw it and recall thinking it was a strange thing to specifically celebrate in the Olympic opening ceremonies. But to each their own.

  Look again at the insurmountable hill that is the US's potential transition to a fully public healthcare system, and consider that celebrating having done that elsewhere might be valid.

    Strange hill to celebrate climbing if the peak is a healthcare system widely regarded both inside and outside the UK as mediocre at best.

      Could be worse, at least they don't have to choose between financial ruin or a healthy life.

  The NHS is the UK's one and only True and Universal Religion, and it's quintessentially british, like Mr Bean, crumpets and the queen. Not celebrating the NHS during the London Olympics opening is akin to blasphemy. Maybe it was cut for some international broadcasts because not everyone will understand.
