Yes, but why? We're talking the NHS, not a series of private companies.

And that's the problem in a nutshell. No profit motive, no
accountability, and loads of jobsworth chips off shoulders.

Sadly, having had some exposure to the American "system", I can assure
you it's considerably worse.

Still not a problem if you have effective medical insurance (which most
big employers provided).

Which most employers don't when it comes down to it, virtually anything you'll need hospital treatment won't be covered.


The insurance company with their skyscrapers
full of clerks argue over the bill with the hospital of physician.

and that's where the money stays.


We wouldn't have an NHS if other countries (who provide all the hi-tech
kit and drugs) didn't have a profit-based system.

Yeah right.
