re: #202 subsailor68

I take your point, but it could be argued that the National Health Service in Britain is not a national free health-care service either, as it is funded from (among other things) income tax and a car-park tax.

The issues in the article have more to do with government interference in health care in general, and what has been learned in various countries such as Britain, France, Switzerland, and so on.

Not an argument for or against government participation - simply observations on what has transpired. So, I’m not touting it as anything but one specific resource for thinking things through.

As I said, interested. I just feel as though each time we go through this discussion there’s a great deal of discussion about whether Canada or Britain’s system works, as though we were contemplating something even remotely similar. Which we aren’t.
