Exactly. Our point was never that the NHS doesn't have to do that, it was that EVERY health service, no matter how well funded has to do it. And Republican scaremongering about it was ridiculous, stupid and disgusting.

I think MOBIUS is just using some of the same language Republican Nutters were using about the NHS when they were attacking it against them. Making the point about the hypocrisy more than anything.

The super rich will never want for whatever care their millions and billions can buy.

Lower income earners would benefit greatly from a national health system.

Americans with high incomes, but who are not rich, stand to lose some of the quality of care they have come to expect through their more expensive, better plans. I suspect the Republicans were talking to these people, who happen to comprise a lot of their base.
