The article deifies government. By now I am convinced that the NHS – and I hyperbolise, but only slightly – is the greatest achievement of humankind, the nearest we get to a benevolent deity, a goddamn superhero. Such worship of the state never ends well, starting with large-scale confiscation of private earnings (where do you think the money for this incident came from?) and veiling of failings (having delivered soothing words and relaxed settings for the patient's death, no mention of what life-saving options were available and why not administered). All delivered with non-sequitur jabs at another healthcare system. "I love Big Brother" - Winston Smith As someone who should be dead four times over, I find the American health care system quite functional, effective, and satisfactory. No worship thereof necessary.
