Different country - same blame game:
Health Secretary Andy Burnham has accused a Tory MEP who attacked the NHS on American TV of being "unpatriotic".
Labour has stepped up its criticism of Daniel Hannan, who waded into the debate over Barack Obama's health bill.
They claim his view - that the NHS is outdated, unfair and should be scrapped - is shared by many Conservatives.
But David Cameron said Mr Hannan's view was "eccentric" and accused Labour of making a meal of the row, stressing that the NHS was his top priority.
Mr Hannan has made a series of appearances on American television in recent weeks, describing the NHS as "60 year mistake" and saying that he "wouldn't wish it on anyone".
