Thun and Carpe are cluelessBritain recognises that healthcare should be a basic human right.America has the lowest infant mortality rate in the western world. America's healthcare is rated at 37th in the world by the World Health Organisation. Britain is ranked 18th. The only good thing to come out of this labour government over the last 12 years is the improvement to the NHS. But it stills needs a lot more funding.A good start would be to make everyone be on the organ donor list and people can opt out if they choose.Carpe - I'm not sure what your saying, we should have private health care? Because we already do.
the WHO stopped ranking healthcare in countries bcos of the complexities in criteria, and the 1999 ranking list you are talking about is really based on availability to the population criteria not on quality. you cannot compare the quality of medical care in the US to the UK its miles ahead. you have an influx of medical practitioners leaving the UK to the US in far greater numbers than the reverse. there is private healthcare here as well i know, but most are not using it cos the NHS is free and universal. the UK system is excellent due to its availability, but seriously lacks in quality and proper care. and the US due to its excellence in quality but lacks in being universally available. a blend of the two will provide a much better system. the govt should not have to run everything.you say britain recognises healthcare is a basic human right, which is fine but that right shouldnt be a take it or leave it right to need to see a doctor and u have to wait hours, or months to get much needed treatment. the way it is funded needs to be changed.

the media in the US is unfortunately split between fox (conservatives) and liberals (cnn,nbc,msnbc) and both sides are to the extreme. they are a serious poison as very little rational thought is given from either side usually, ur either conservative or liberal..which in reality is bullshit.

ur sole motivation for that type of work, should be to help people, to ensure u do ur work to the best of ur ability, with the best and most genuine intentionswhen money and greed comes into it, u get a load of individuals in the profession who care less about the actual work they do and more about the money

TBHThere are several professions that you can choose to earn money fromUnfortunately the ''prestige'' being a doctor carries, and the earning potential involved is the reason why in every medical school year you get that 'prick'. The know it all, the one that challenges the consultant when totally unnecessary, whilst simultaneously sucking said consultants arse. Cannot tolerate that kind of medic.
