Re:One of the better ideas to fix health care... (Score 1)

I'm British. I keep hearing Americans saying things like this, and I just don't get it. If I'm sick, I go to see my doctor. Yes, I have to make an appointment, but it's not as if I'm having to wait any real length of time. I get as good healthcare as anywhere else, and I don't have to pay a penny. Sure, there are problems with the British system - it could be more reponsive, and adopt new treatments faster - but it is generally transparent, and ensures that people do not die or become crippled, simly due to a lack of funds.

That surely has to be better than a system where treatment can be denied at the whim of an accountant?

Cheers.
