The NHS is a combo of hospitals, doctors, and insurance.
This combo (system as you like to call it, although that leaves out a ton of stuff) also exists in the US as a non-profit. I said this already.
It doesn't help
What will help is doctors taking a paycut and mass layoffs.
The problems in the US are not on the payment side, they are on the service side: it's simply too expensive.
We need twice as many doctors, working half as many hours, for half as much pay.
That's what would fix the US.
- tchaffee 3y agoNHS is not a combo of "hospitals, doctors, and insurance". It does not involve insurance at all. It is a comprehensive and integrated healthcare system that runs as a whole. I'm writing this from the UK where I use the NHS. I've also used the US system extensively and the Italian healthcare system extensively. You need to get basic facts right if you want to be a part of the debate.
