He said Indian workers were so good that the only hurdle to such a plan would be British patients' unwillingness to book appointments with foreign operators. (Snip) Call centres in India already handle invoices and other administration for some trusts at a fraction of what it would cost in the UK.

Isn’t prison labor cheaper? Prisoners already have access to SS info in several states. Give ‘em health info too, to help them select targets on release.

How can socialism create a Workers’ Paradise when the socialist government is outsourcing the work?? The insanity of liberalism just hit an all-time high.

Why not? The Phoenix hospital I worked at for 7 years sent all of their medical transcription jobs to India under the guise of saving money. Now MTs in India will make about $1,000 a month and, thanks to unemployment, so will I.
