Hi Dave:<http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/17/opinion/17krugman.html?src="">>http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/17/opinion/17krugman.html?src="">
I was pleased to see that you had circulated the above on IP. I wonder whether the majority of IPers have any conception of the amount of media coverage, and the extent of anger, here in the UK concerning the misrepresentations and falsehoods about our National Health Service being peddled by politicians and others opposed to President Obama's healthcare reform efforts. If only pieces like the above could drown out such critics.
Cheers
