In view of Obama's health care proposals you may find this poll interesting. I can't find a salary distribution for the sites members so it may not be typical of the UK, however judging by other comments there are quite a lot of 'professional' people on there.
Tell the USA your views on the NHS.
There’s a furore in the USA about healthcare policy, and some say President Obama’s planned actions are equivalent to setting up a NHS. That’s meant huge debate over there about the service we have over here.

Which of these is closest to your message to the USA? A. Big Thumbs Up. Free healthcare has always worked for me, go for it. - 27% (3739 votes) B. Thumbs Up. It’s got its faults but it's better than any ‘pay’ system. - 50% (6879 votes) C. Thumbs Up-ish. It needs serious change, but on balance I’d still recommend it. - 17% (2371 votes) D. Thumbs Down-ish. It has some good elements, but on balance I’d stick with what you’ve got. - 2% (317 votes) E. Thumbs Down. It hardly works, we need radical change to make it passable. - 2% (253 votes) F. Big Thumbs Down. We need to scrap our outdated, outmoded system. - 2% (279 votes) |
