Sick Around America. Britain and the NHS



10 minte clip about the U.K's 60-year-old health care system. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that critics of Obama's health proposuals who say he wants to nationalize America's system point to the alleged pitfalls and failures with Britain's "socialized medicine."

That's sent Britain's politicians and citizens into a tizzy -- sample the Twitter campaign.

This video is from Sick Around the World, with Washington Post foreign correspondent T.R. Reid.

Here's a synopsis of the full program (which you can watch online) and a short summary of how things work in the government-run NHS.
