Everyone in the UK would fight you to the death to preserve ours
Your only problem in the US is that niggers would bleed such a system dry, get rid of your dead weight and you too can call an ambulance without ruining your life.
The people who want you to keep your mad system all work for hospitals and pharma, or are politicians who are getting lobbied by the same people.
Try and find a conservative in the UK who would want your system, that's how mad we think you are. Even Farage only wants some kind of two tier system
I wouldn't mind the health care system in the US going more socialized, IF we could trust it would be run efficiently and correctly. we could even handle some of the dead weight (not all of it, but some). the problem is lack of morals, greed, apathy, etc. if we were more of a true Christian society (like we used to be), then we would be able to trust our leaders to run a health care system.
I'm not sure how you could flip between the two systems in a federal country, you'd have to get hospitals to buy into an agreed standard of care and then work out how to fund that, but statistically the US pays more money for a lower standard of care. Although I believe your top end care is better quality?
Obviously the standard would have to vary from state to state, and you'd need to provide some level of minimal care for people injured out of state, a bit like we do with the EU.
Remember the idea of a health system was purely a more efficient way of keeping workers productive, and you could maybe retain an insured system for retired people. But this fear of getting sick and going bankrupt, and MRI scans for a broken toenail or whatever are just a scam. I think most people would actually accept a much lower standard of care, if they could then do away with all the expensive middlemen.
If nobody else is rushing to copy your system, that's maybe a hint that nobody likes it, and every other countries system seems to work. People complain about the NHS, but I've used it a few times and found nothing to fault it
Last I checked we found yaw to death to give us the right to create our own system. Though I highly doubt the uk ever quit trying to win us back or all the other countries trying bring her down as well. Way I see it I buy good insurance I get fast quality service to an extent. Free health care is at will meaning doctors do at will and concern themselves how they want. Atleast here before obummer my health insurance was on par with high class paid 50 a month and could go anywhere and have instant Healthcare.
get rid of your dead weight and you too can call an ambulance without ruining your life.
I had to take an ambulance ride a couple of months ago. Cost me $50. The ER bill was $36.
