Hawking's nursing care is provided foundations NOT the NHS:

Hawking, in response to a query from London's Guardian newspaper that was apparently prompted by our editorial, was quoted Tuesday as saying: "I wouldn't be here today if it were not for the NHS. I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived."

We accept this testimony and good fortune. We will note, however, that in talking about his disability on his own Web site, Hawking makes no mention of NHS and instead says that since 1985, when he had a tracheotomy, he has had "24-hour nursing care . . . made possible by several foundations."

Hawking would be dead today if he weren't world famous. He's EXACTLY the kind of guy Obama advisor Ezekiel Emanuel would like to avoid wasting resources on.
