Not many Americans are aware of the private health insurance schemes in the UK.

Under NHS, one is treated for free and while one can buy private health insurance, its not necessary.

The people of UK like their single payer health care system and not want to see its essential character changed.

Political debate revolves around how to make NHS more accountable, responsive and effective not whether health care should be based on ability to pay.
