Wasnt this some Tea Party moron who made this statement, was certainly some hardcore republican
Shame he happened to make his statement to the press the week Dr Hawking was in Washington to pick up a medal from the Prez and basically said if it wasnt for the NHS he would be dead.

To be fair though I've seen all sorts of insane things claimed in newspapers all over the world.
Ignorance is so much worse when you mix it with confidence.
