UK government plans major health care reform

By JILL LAWLESS, Associated Press – Mon Jan 17, 9:23 am ET
LONDON – Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday waded into terrain where past British governments have foundered, promising fundamental changes to the country's expensive and over-stressed public health care system.

Cameron said the reforms would cut red tape and improve treatment, but critics claim they will cause chaos and could lead to backdoor privatization of the much-criticized but widely popular National Health Service.

The Brits are afraid health care reform might weaken their public health care and lead to privatization.

Americans are afraid health care reform might weaken privatization and lead to public health care.

Go figure.

1. You notice none of this BS goes on in Canada?

Their health care and retirement system isn't in crisis like everyone else's. They must be doing something right up there.

2. Thier conservatives are trying to privatise healthcare. Same as in Canada.

Probably in every industrialised country,the conservatives are trying.

3. Powerholders don't like change,

I would venture to guess.

America will never have public health care. Alas.
