London Mayor Boris Johnson On Health Care
Boris Johnson is the mayor of London, England. He's a conservative by party and by nature, yet he's a funny guy, an Obama fan and is capable of open-minded, reasonable thought on some issues. (Remember when a few American conservatives could do such things?)
Here's Boris in a short interview in the current issue of Time magazine:
Q: You're a conservative. Can you explain your support for socialized medicine?
A: Americans always look at our system with disbelief and disapproval, but actually we make it work. Nobody goes untreated, no matter how poor or rich they are. I think that is very reassuring for people. I understand the arguments against it, but it's something that everybody buys into, everybody believes in, and it works. It shows there is something that really binds us together.
