Based on unsettled and /BAH's previous posts, they are not overly concerned what happens to the middle class as "Middle class" assumptions and lifestyles appear to be "wrong" from their class war POV.

You live in such a dream world, maybe you should step out side and smell the air, cause I think it stinks at times like it does anywhere else in the world. -- "I'm never wrong, once i thought i was, but was mistaken" Real Programmers Do things like this. http://webpages.charter.net/jamie_5

In previous posts you have claimed the NHS offers less service, worse service, is less cost effective (amongst other things) and when these were proved incorrect you move on to another line. This is another one of your lines of defence for your preconceived opinion. The US currently has many government and privately run organisations which are able to deliver an equal service to customers in different states. Why you think a health care provide would also be unable to do so is beyond me. You may argue scale of population, but this is incorrect as other countries with massive populations manage health care. You may argue scale of land, but this is a problem when it comes to Canada. You may argue disparate local legislation but this is a non-issue as there is no reason a US NHS could not be flexible enough to accommodate local issues. Doesn't the USPS manage this? In the UK different NHS regions operate under very different conditions, yet the service is provided. I am amazed you think a backward, socialist, royalist country like the UK is capable of doing something as important for it's people as a nationwide health service, available to all, when the mighty US is not.
