I don't know what has or has not been adopted in the UK. I have not been there in years. All I am saying is that there are risks associated with being an early adopter.
I've expressed some disdain for the Canadian system before. But let's bear in mind that I hear rants from family when the system does not work. If you are looking at the population as a whole, a system where people can get front-line treatment before their problem is serious has a great deal of value. For instance, I had a friend in Maryland who was diabetic but could not afford her insulin. She would deteriorate until the local emergency room felt the need to hospitalize her. They released her when she was stable then the problem started all over again. That's a dysfunctional system, there. Not only was she not getting treatment, she was costing a great deal more that she would if she had. The fact that various communities have programs that address this does nto change the fact that these are patches on a system that is full of holes. The other side of the coin would be those who have conditions that are not yet welll understood. I have sleep apnea for instance. My doctor told me in very emphatic terms that my father almost certainly does as well, and he should have a sleep study ASAP. However, he lives in Norfolk and it seems that the NHS -- or at least his GP -- does not yet believe in sleep apnea.
