TalkingPointsMemo captured a truly ironic editorial over at Investor's Business Daily, before it was patched up (the evidence is still in Google's cache). The editorial was highly critical of the proposed U.S. health care reform legislation. Since reform is not expected to be a "good thing" for investors if it passes, we can understand their point of view.
Instead of pointing out the financial risk to investors, however, they decided to scare people by warning that the bill would usher in the same terrifyingly low level of health care quality as is available in the U.K.
They went a little over the top, though, when they suggested that Stephen Hawking would have perished of neglect under the U.K.'s health care system. Hawking is, of course, a Commander of the British Empire and has held the Lucasian Chair at Cambridge (Isaac Newton's old job) since 1979.

People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.
