As Barack Obama and members of Congress spend the August recess discussing America's healthcare system in town hall meetings, Fox News and a group called Conservatives for Patients Rights (CPR) are comparing the president's reform plan - unfavourably - to the British NHS. Both Fox and CPR have invited UK doctors, politicians and patients to voice their concerns and frustrations on the air.

Take a look and tell us what you think: fair criticisms or overstated hype?

Here, Fox News presenter Glenn Beck interviews Tory MEP Daniel Hannan, focusing on the wait times for treatment in the UK.

They reported, you decide: Is this Fox News segment a good representation of the NHS? British cancer specialist Karol Sikora and UK health policy analyst Roy Lilley are among the experts assembled for the segment.

CPR has been producing ads like this one, referenced in the Fox clip above, that criticise Britain's NHS.

Kate Spall, Katie Brickell and Angela French further detail their personal experiences with the NHS in this CPR video. Spall says: "If you have cancer in the UK you are going to die quicker than any other country in Europe." Dr Sikora makes another appearance as well.

French, a cancer patient from Yardley Gobion, talks about the difficulties she had obtaining high-end drugs through the NHS.
