British and Canadian system are quite different. In the British the
docs are employees of the system. In Canada they are not.

All health care systems, including the US ration resources on some

Canada and Britain as alternative models is that we are familiar
with them because of linguistic and cultural similarities but
neither are particularly well funded compared to other forms of
universal access and while I would prefer either of them to what we
have now, they are not the best that is possible. Also, because of
the EU, Britons are now traveling to the Continent to get better
care from other national health systems (Belgium is poplular) and
the National Health Service has to pay for it. Though I am
politically in sync with M Moore I do think he is an idiot, even if
a funny one. Nonetheless, Fresh Air did an interview with a
political scientist who is a health care expert to do a review of
Sicko, and though he had some criticisms, he says Moore "gets alot
right about the American health care system." If you want a very
smart and informed treatment of these issues, Jonathon Cohn's
"Sick" (also interviewed on Fresh Air) Oh yeah, just to stay on
topic, computers! on Fresh Air). ----- Original Message ---- From:
