nation. but first let's talk about the one thing americans are certain is bad -- government-run health care. across the atlantic, in great britain. is the nation's health service an evil death panel, as some say? let's take a look. during america's debate over health care reform, critics said britain's government-run system was an orwellian bureaucracy that rationed care to those in need. were they right? britain does have a system that is as close to socialized medicine as any rich country gets. the government pays for everything, owns most of the hospitals, and pays most of the doctors. but consider this -- compared to americans, the brits have longer life spans, a lower infant mortality rate, and a health care system that consistently ranks higher on every measure. all this and everyone's care is covered. no payments to doctors, no monthly charges from your insurance company, no co-pays, no fees, nothing. >> we'll be ready on the back table. >> reporter: at king's college hospital in london dr. nigel heton performs a liver transplant surgery with a live donor. a young man is giving part of his liver to his younger brother. the liver is cut in half with one

the national health service. how does that factor into our analysis? in one sense it can be argued this is what the government is doing and ought to be honest about using the correct power. on the other hand, since the court can do it any way, i'm not sure which way the argument moves? >> let me try to answer that and get back to the question you asked me early per's earlier. i do think one striking feature of the argument here that this is a novel exercise of power is that what congress chose to do was to rely on market mechanisms and efficiencies and a method that has more choice than would the traditional medicare or medicaid-type model. seems a little ironic to suggest that that counts against it, but beyond that, in the sense that it's novel, this provision is novel in the same way, or unpresidentsed in the same way the sherman act was unprecedented when the court upheld in the northern securities case or the packers and stockyards act was upunprecedented or the national labor relation act when the was upheld or the dairy price supports and right
