    I don't know. Do you have any information that he received special care? And more importantly, do you have any information that anyone in the UK has been denied care for COVID-19 because of some flaw in the system? How long are the 'wait times' for getting care for acute COVID-19?

    As the old saying goes, we have Socialism for the rich, Capitalism for the poor. And since the Right is good with that, I don't think this will help advance the idea of affordable healthcare.

    The rich and powerful never go without government services. Healthcare which is a crippling cost to us is couch change for the wealthy. They never spend a second worrying about healthcare.,

    Maybe the time for change has come. Much HAS changed. I like Joe's Public Option.

    That seems reasonable enough. A good place to begin. Let the for-profits charge as much as they like. And let them compete with a government-run plan. If they think that will be so bad, they should have no problem offering much lower prices.

    I think if people can be shown a Public Option that offers the same coverage at lower prices they wouldn't care about the politics. They would get it.

    Reasonable people would get it. But the Right isn't about rationality or improving the country. It's all about hierarchy and "owning da libs."
    Though things like this might sway the Centrists, which is always good.

    Just like the lying right wing reBOOBliCONS.....downing everything that has been done to help
    the population and yet first time and every time thereafter they need help and get it from the
    systems that have been put in place by Dems..for the people...they change their tune for a
    little while..and go back to lying until the next problem they get into and have to be helped....
    the reBOOBliCONS are a horrible example of what we need in a just law abiding society....
    they need not to be in any government office...or any position that determinds what we all
    need to live....a totally disgusting group of people...led by the most disgusting president in history

    Some of the right is like that but fortunately not all.

    It would be my guess that he got the best care they could provide. I'm not going to argue it because we don't really know. My guess is as good as yours. I know you didn't talk about wait times. I did. If you don't want to comment on that, that's OK.

    I think we should care about the UK. They are our allies. It's a tough world. We can't go it alone. All the nations on Earth are on this planet together. Each nation strives in it's own way to look out for the people, but really, all across the world, ordinary people are really a lot alike. Most have no great power, just want to live their own lives, have a chance to look out for their family, create a nice community.

    Some nations are run by ruthless despots. That affects people all over. People everywhere should be on their guard, become as well informed as possible, do what they can to affect good leadership in their nation.

    Logically, the entire world should be united under one ideal government, but since everyone can't agree on how that would be structured we have this piecemeal approach. Maybe we'll get there one day.
