Dana, it's absolutely fascinating to hear discussions of health care from a different point of view and different format.
Brits do seem a bit more polite !
It appears Brits favor their health care system the way Yanks favor their Social Security.
An apparent suspicion of hidden "privatization" is never heard here.
Instead, here it is the certainty of "socialization" and G.B. is the example.
It's hard to tell from one episode if QT is different from some of our TV coverage.
My view of US coverage is that they find two experts or authorities or representatives
at the extreme opposite ends of the spectrum, and call that "balanced coverage"
The idea of unfiltered questions and comments from an public audience is really appealing,
but I doubt we could do it without that approach soon being subverted, in accusation or reality,
of shills and plants in the audience.
Thanks for posting that episode
