U.K. health system slams ‘untruths’ - Europe- msnbc.com: "Britain's health care service says it is sick of being lied about.

Pilloried by right-wing critics of President Barack Obama's health care plan, Britain's National Health Service, known here as the NHS, is fighting back.

'People have been saying some untruths in the States,' a spokesman for Britain Department of Health said in a telephone interview. 'There's been all these ridiculous claims made by the American health lobby about Obama's health care plan ... and they've used the NHS as an example. A lot of it has been untrue.'"
