America has one of the best health care facilities and best doctors in the world, NOT the system. This is not a correct analogy but for sake of popular opinion

America has one of the best health care facilities and best doctors in the world, NOT the system.
This is not a correct analogy but for sake of popular opinion, American health care is like Apple products providing good return for the money you spent but the money spent is too damn high compared to others.
Fortunately, there are lot of better models elsewhere to follow and America is not a shining beacon of health care system in the world.
- paulhauggis 15y ago"America has one of the best health care facilities and best doctors in the world, NOT the system." and why is that? because the doctors go where the money is. Doctors in all NHS systems have limited salaries. "Fortunately, there are lot of better models elsewhere to follow and America is not a shining beacon of health care system in the world." Compared to who? There is so much FUD (especially in the HN community) about NHS, I can't really believe anything until I see some cold, hard, stats.
- arethuza 15y ago"Doctors in all NHS systems have limited salaries." Senior doctors in the UK NHS often work "on the side" in private hospitals to boost their income to extremely comfortable levels - their basic salaries aren't too bad when you consider that the cost of medical training in the UK is nothing like as expensive as the US.
