Doctors and nurses are actual government employees, as the state controls health care from soup to nuts.<BR/><BR/>No serious player in the U.S. is proposing, nor would they propose, imitating the UK system. It's worse than our system. It's proven inferior to most Euro health care systems which utilize the government as payee while most other personnel and properties are privately held. Extra, or advanced health care policies are available and produced by private insurers. With the exception of the UK, by a large margin other European health delivery systems are superior to ours at a significantly lower cost (measured as a percentage of GDP).<BR/><BR/>You've got to wonder if the choice of the UK as a comparison was more than a simple residency matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
