# The concept of a National Health Service is essentially a socialist idea
In America, that places it on the far, far left of politics and in a realm where no-one can speak sensibly about it.

# as soon as someone says "socialism" everyone scatters, screaming
but so many of our good ideas are socialist in nature. it stems from the need to take care of everybody and not just those who are fortunate enough to be able to pay for everything

# I'd go further and say that there are some socialist ideals, the NHS included,
which can actually serve to stabilize a Capitalist economy and make a country stronger. It's a sad state of affairs where options which could improve peoples' lives have to be rejected just on the basis of dogma or fears of unpopularity.

# It is ok.
It took me years to finally figure it out.

They dont have the NHS because Bevan was English.

# republicans favor states' rights instead of big government
and traditionally support lower taxes and deregulation.

That said, the Republican party is controlled by a lot of Evangelical Christians who only reduce taxes on the upper 5% class of Americans, and would love to make it the federal government's sweeping right to deny abortion, gay rights and religious freedom rights across all the states.

# There is gay marriage in some states.
California, for instance. I dunno about the other 49 though.

# california, connecticut and massachusetts recognize them as actual marriages
6 other states plus Washington DC have legal unions, not "marriages" per se but bestow some or all of the state rights of marriage
