Yes I know how stupid it makes us look. But hey, that is nothing new. America has been the laughing stock of the international community for many years now.
As for Americans spouting things like 'socialism', 'death panels', etc...they only believe what they are fed. Believe it or not the media in this country is so censored it isn't funny. Americans very rarely get the whole unbiased truth on anything.

EDIT: 95% of British people have bad teeth....lol where did you get that number? The NHS has dental coverage! I guess you have never looked around at all the bad teeth in the US? It is gobsmacking how many people have rotten, missing, black teeth here. EWWWW! At least in the UK you can go to a dentist when you need/want to and it not cost you 2 weeks pay like here in America!!
EDIT: Yes they have free mental health care in the UK. My husband is sitting right here beside me...I guess he should know better than these know it all Americans who post on YA!
