Alt, who studies British politics, said that the British government had “some success” in its recent health care reforms, particularly in its push to reduce hospital waiting lists.

In part, this was—as Miller conceded afterwards—because his trusty laptop crashed, forcing him to let Birth run uninterrupted while he hit control-alt-delete.
