Quote:There is nothing stopping politicians getting advice from the private sector, or from other successful public health systems in the world. Hey, a fully public system works very well in the UK while spending way less money per capita on healthcare than the US.

 

The problem I see with your system is you have tried to enact universal healthcare whilst working in the constraints of the previous failed model.

 

A friend of mine works as a private consultant in healthcare here and knows different models of care in countries upside down. The US model is seen as one of the worst least efficient models of health in the developed world, whilst the fully public British model is seen as the system best to learn from.
