Everyone should understand that there are TWO parallel health systems in the UK.
1 The NHS, which is socialised medicine, is failing, has long waiting lists and cannot attract talent.
2 BUPA, which is just like the American system and which the British have been fleeing to in droves for over 30 years. Any decent job in the UK offers BUPA as a benefit, just as health coverage is offered by employers here.
Great Britain is ahead of Canada in that respect, and it is another example that rational thinking can prevail. We hope that never will the US have to experience a single-payer system which our democrat party members so strongly endorse.
