Jim can't recognise party political propaganda when he sees it. TheDaily Mail will use any stick it can find to beat the current Labouradministration, and a bit of selective trawling through the statisticsis a good way of finding places where the UK health service doesn't doas well as the competition (which costs half again as much per head).And he seems to have missed the line"Just 9 per cent of low income homes say they have unmet care needs,compared to 52 per cent in the U.S. and 24 per cent in Germany".which points up one of the spectacular weaknesses of US health caresystem (and one that Obama - quite rightly - wants to do somethingabout).--Bill Sloman, Nijmegen
