Tell the USA your views on the NHS.

16 August 2009

Poll Started 17 August 2009: Tell the USA your views on the NHS. There’s a furore in the USA about healthcare policy, and some say President Obama’s planned actions are equivalent to setting up a NHS. That’s meant huge debate over there about the service we have over here. Which of these is closest to your message to the USA?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
