Barack Obama healthcare: NHS patients missing out, British expert warns - Telegraph: "“Inevitably in a tax-based government run health service, the increasing costs will be borne by younger working population.
“At a time of rapid health inflation due to innovative technology, this is just unsustainable. The same tensions apply to defined benefit pensions for public sector workers. We are rapidly approaching the point at which the political fudging of pensions and health care will no longer be possible,” he warned."
Read the whole linked article - lots of sobering facts about the British NHS.
Just as my earlier post on France indicated, the nationalized health care systems of Europe that President Obama wants to emulate are, in fact, careening out of control. They have not succeeded in controlling the growth of health care spending, despite sometimes draconian rationing.
