Piers Morgan rips US healthcare system as a 'sick joke' (after Trump tweet slams UK system)
http://thehill.com/homenews/media/372312-piers-morgan-rips-us-healthcare-system-as-a-sick-joke-after-trump-says-ukBritish commentator Piers Morgan ripped the U.S. healthcare system Monday, responding to President Trump's claim that Britain's National Health Service was "going broke and not working."
"Wrong, Mr President. Our NHS is a wonderful, albeit imperfect, health system - and the envy of the world," Morgan tweeted.
"By comparison, the US healthcare system is a sick joke & the envy of no-one."
The tweet comes after Trump on Monday said "no thanks" to any push from Democrats for a "universal" healthcare system in the U.S.
“The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working,” the president wrote on Twitter.
“Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!”
Thousands of people marched in London over the weekend to protest health service budget cuts and restraints, according to reports.

Piers Morgan is a Trump supporter and friend.
Trump's idiot tweet was apparently triggered by Nigel Farage appearing on Fox & Friends to discuss the march.
