State run medicine is the envy of American liberals. They seem especially enraptured by Britain's National Health Service.

And, of course, those same liberals are big fans of unions and all they do so it's delicious to see this preview of coming attractions:

Junior doctors to have first 'all-out' strike in history if ballot passes

Savor it well, libbies, elect Hillary and we can have our very own "industrial actions" like this one:

Until now, the BMA has said that it would recommend limiting action in the first instance to an "emergency care" level of service - meaning doctors would provide the sort of skeleton service in operation on Christmas Day.

But the union on Thursday released its plans for action if junior doctors vote to strike. The plan would see one day of "emergency care only" action for 24 hours on December 1, followed by a full walk out from 8am to 5pm on December 8 and December 16.

There were concerns that an all-out strike in the height of winter would inevitably endanger lives, given that junior doctors make up around half of the medical workforce.

"If" is a wonderful word...so full of potential that may or may not become reality. Do follow this story and let us know what actually happens in December, mmkay?

How long have you lived in the UK?

Joy of rightwing threads failing as straw man fallacies – this thread being one of many examples.

Great healthcare system.

Wonder if Harvard's study included any of those people who would croak if this had happened.

Doctors...sworn to save lives....unless......

You do know that Hillary does not favor single payer healthcare, right?
 
The strike is overwhelmingly supported by the British public who see their health service under threat by a corrupt tory gang who all have shares in private medicine.

Sky Poll: 74% Of Public Back Doctors' Strike

The public overwhelmingly blame Jeremy Hunt for junior doctors' strike, poll finds

Poll shows growing support for striking junior doctors

It wasnt the Doctors that chose this fight but they will win because they have right, and the public, on their side.

Who is going to lose ?

Why would she....? That would be far left.

Once she is elected, she'll throw them under the bus as fast as bill did.

Hopefully it will be the Tories and their vulture mates.Privatisation has, on the whole, not worked in the UK. People have paid into the NHS for years, 34 in my case, and a halt needs to be called on their plans.
The last election was about the economy, the next will be about the NHS.

The NHS strike is a massively complicated issue. This article sheds some light on the matter. The author has been a critical voice for many years and is not a fan of any of the political parties.

Is there not some board rule about seeking personal information?
 
This nation should be number one in everything and sadly, we're not.
We're something like 36th in education in the world and 27th in health care. For a nation whose right-wing followers like to strut about thumping their chests claiming that the U.S. is number one, being that far down in health care (as well as education) for its people, is absurd.
Needing transplants or other in-depth treatments shouldn't destroy your bank account or cause you to lose your home to pay for the treatment.
France is number one in the world for health care, both preventive and actual treatment.
Simple logic must prevail.
