More likely they balance the need to increase healthcare taxes against their chance of being reelected.

- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoSure, and that's not exactly comfortable (maybe "reelected" shouldn't be a thing, idk). But if the people reelecting you are also the patients then the particular conflict of interest I'm worried about is not present.
- davrosthedalek 2y agoYes, that's why NHS is so well funded. Oh, wait, it isn't. Government-organized resource allocation is, more likely than not, bad to very bad.

- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoTrue, and we need to get our shit together about that, but it's not an apples to apples comparison. A government allocates 100% of the available healthcare funding towards healthcare outcomes. A corporation (in the US) allocates 80%. You can tolerate a sloppier slicing if you're starting with a bigger pie.
