Abstract
Last month the NHS came under scrutiny when Barak Obama announced plans to reform US health care. Republicans and other conservative campaigners have been reported making comparisons between the proposed reforms and the UK NHS system and in the process they have slammed the NHS for its long waiting lists and made accusations about it rationing the more expensive treatments. Examples of poor treatment have been paraded in the press to support these ideas. A number of hypothetical comments have been made about popular public figures with claims that they would not receive treatment because of age restrictions and would die if the USA followed a system similar to the NHS. It doesn't help when a report from the Patients Association highlights appalling standards in NHS care, mainly relating to basic nursing when caring for the elderly. Although the reports are not representative across the NHS, they give a very bad impression of our service.
