Tonight, a reality TV show on the BBC America cable station debuted that clearly demonstrates the differences between the British and U.S. Health care systems. The show is called "24 Hours In The ER" and it follows doctors, nurses and patients in a trauma center in London. http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/447/index.jsp The hospital's name is Kings College Hospital.
When you watch the show, you can clearly see that London's best trauma center compares to the run of the mill small town emergency rooms and doesn't even come close to a U.S. trauma center when you compare the staff, equipment and hospital. No comparison, whatsoever.
So, President Obama and the Democrats can complain about the health care here, it is still far here than in London.
If you get BBC America, the station is good for watching Gordon Ramsey and now, this show, "24 Hours In The ER".
(And why do they call it an ER when in London, they call it an A&E?)
