Hi, >>Basically, the difference comes down to the fact that care in the US is >>far better, without a question, but health care is simply not available to >>a high percentage of Americans (I believe it is something like 40 million >>Americans without health insurance),
I wouldn't really agree to that, US healthcare has lots of questions about efficiency about it yet to be answered, it might be having the largest health economy but it has the largest overhead per patient as well ( read profit). It is a classic example of healthcare provided by insurance where the objective is profit for the insurance company not the health of the patients involved. >>I live in London, and I'm happy with the standard of care.. I do live in London and I am really worried about NHS, I have large number of my class mates ( from medical school) working in NHS those horror stories they tell make me really worried, to add to this is the new NHS intiative to computerise :-(. Some of my thoughts on these are on my blog...(www.healthcare-it-security.com) regards Anish Mohammed www.healthcare-it-security.com Progress isn't made by early risers.
