Hello! [View all]

My country has had a single-payer system for over 60 years, for which I'm enormously grateful. But now it needs preservation from being at least diluted by the vile Health Secretary Andrew Lansley and his policies of partial privatization.

So I am here out of a desire to fight for the preservation of my system, and in solidarity with those fighting to establish one.
