They are better paid than most other places in the world. The purchasing power of a single organisation that provides healthcare to 60M people and employs 2M is the difference.
Our system costs less than 70% per capita than the US system, ours covers 100% of costs for all UK subjects (and emergency care to tourists).
For Christ's sake there are millions of US citizens with no healthcare cover. What a disgrace!
Oh so you're proud that you use violence. Why didn't you say so? If we want something we can just take it by using violence...
So who gets to go to the best doctors? I'm sure your politicians don't go the ********* doctors, nooooo. Oh your best doctors can treat the Queen and dirt poor Joe Schmoe at the exact same time! Magic!
So you prevent people who have the means from voluntarily being able to pay someone to treat them with the best care? Guess that would be a jailable criminal offense right of someone tried to pay for healthcare?
So who decides how much everyone in the system should be paid? You're leaders are blindly guessing and burying the process in the overall budget, same way the U.S.S.R. did.
Patients don't vote with their dollars. So does anyone ever get fired, or just in the rarest of circumstances? Guess you got to accept those **** ups by "professionals" with guaranteed jobs.
You and the rest of the European countries are going bankrupt with your social welfare policies. Hell the mirage lasted a long time in the U.S.S.R. too. Gee if it works in health care maybe you can get guaranteed jobs just like the French, and sit around and do nothing all day. Yeah, that'll work.
People will always get sick, be dying, and be willing to spend whatever they can to stay alive. So you cap costs at 70% of some b.s. number by using violence to RATION, pure and simple, and then pretend that the care is "quality".
Sorry but if consumers are not directly spending their money and medical providers are not directly competing amongst each other to get that money, the result will in absolutely every case be lower quality at higher price. Keep on tucking that RATIONING under the rug there ...
