This is a programme that seems to claim that everything Mr Pilger disagrees with is some form of propaganda by the NHS privatisation lobby. Yet the topics, context and interviews presented seem to be themselves the most appallingly transparent collection of propaganda for the NHS status quo. Why, for example, is there no discussion of other european health systems, which are based on insurance models, yet are not exorbitantly expensive, nor run anything like the US health system? A dreadfully, one sided, one dimensional set of views presented as facts. If it achieved anything, it was to demolish the US healthcare system. This may indeed be a good thing, but certainly was not what the programme purported to be about. No wonder people think the TV media is politically biased, this programme is one of the worst examples I have seen!
