Note that Bevan isn't saying that UK society is socialist (although he was probably in favour of it) - rather than the spirit of the NHS is socialist. Note that I would agree that it seems "common sense" for us in the UK and I'm definitely not keen on basing arguments on ideologies but it clearly doesn't seem "common sense" for people in the US.

And yet, in the U.S. we have a system like the NHS for veterans, plus a system like Canada's for everybody over 65.

Yes, I believe the US government spends more per capita on government provided healthcare than the UK does - even though the end results are only available to a subset of the population.

Doesn't that annoy people?
