This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow - healt care Access to healt care is just something we do not worry about; sometimes we complain about the waiting lists in some services and the quality of some centers, but I know for sure that if me or my family have a health problem we will be properly assisted. Period. No questions about costs or services included (ranging from pediatry to major sugery, including all types of transplants).

If you want arguments in favour of a "single-payer health system", what about this: it works. An it's working not in some small backwater country, but in one of the top-level economies of the world, the European Union. And we love it: nobody will vote a party even suggesting to downgrade it.

To this respect, it is sometimes shocking to read in your blog/cartoons that some of your opinions are considered "liberal" (intended as deprecative), I guess meaning what we would call here a "left-wing extremist", while in Europe they would be considered just "common sense". For instance:

- National Health Insurance
- No death penalty
- Arms control
- Control of global warming
