Theresa May defends universal health system after Trump attacks

British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday defended her country's National Health Service following comments from President Trump.

“The prime minister is proud of our NHS, that is free at the point of delivery," a spokesman for May told The Washington Post.
The spokesman noted that funding for the universal health-care system is at a "record high" and was prioritized in the budget with an extra 2.8 billion pounds.

He also noted that a recent Commonwealth Fund international survey rated the country's system the best in the world for a second time.

Trump early Monday morning tweeted that "thousands of people are marching in the UK because their [universal] system is going broke and not working."

The protests are because of May's Tory party slashing funding for social care and healthcare, no matter what lies she tells about record funding levels. The NHS is pretty much universally adored in Britain outside the far right nutjobs.

and total moron.

I have been reprimanded in the past for using the word "moron" for just anybody who is dumb because it is really a term meant specifically for a diagnosed condition, but I think given that we know and can document that trump has always been a complete idiot about everything, he may fit the definition clinically.

No, he didnt go to school and get good grades for crying out loud, rich people dont get good grades the same way normal people do unless they want to.
