Dubious Evidence

So there's this debate about healthcare going on--and as usual, politics of the day means that most people don't really know the details, so instead they make up facts and argue for/against those. Take one example here from the Investor's Business Daily...claiming that, among other things, the system of healthcare in the U.K. is so bad that someone like Stephen J. Hawking, the brilliant wheelchair bound scientist, would not have had a chance to survive in such a system. Good thing he didn't grow up there, huh? Except that he did. And lives there to this day. Well, you know what they say--don't let the facts get in the way of a good story!
