  The NHS has got numerous problems and does need serious reform. I think the French system has a number of benefits with regulation to ensure that inequality is not prevalent. However I think it is quite clear that Mr Hannan would favour a service offered by the private sector and personal health care insurance much like that of the United States, as opposed to one offered by a national insurance. 'Free at the point of delivery' is one of those nice soundbites that when actually expanded as a concept doesn't have to be as fair as it sounds. A 'free at point of entry' system can still heavily favour those 'with' over those 'without'.
  
  I think Hannan is a good and entertaining public speaker, but then so was Tony Blair. I also think it would be good for him to stand as an MEP, although I don't think he would best represent my ideals. One of my strong beliefs is democracy, something that is lacking in our country.
