What happens when you put bureaucrats in charge of health care? Seeing a GP quickly is easier in Rwanda than Britain, study finds
An international analysis of healthcare, including access to GPs, found that Britain is the third-worst place in the world for quick access to a family doctor.
Just 35 per cent of Britons were able to see a GP within 24 hours, compared to a global average of 67 per cent.
I know that no one studies history, but the Nation Health Service in the UK wasn't created because there was a problem with health care delivery. It was created because socialists thought that health care should be socialized. And for a long time it worked, even as the NHS became the largest bureaucracy in the country formerly known as Great Britain. Not so much for the past few years.
Delays in care are lethal in the case of cancer. ‘Jessica’s cancer was missed 20 times by GPs – she never stood a chance’.
And that is when the system isn't actually demanding that you die. Baby girl dies after U.K. court ordered her removed from life support
Both of those are relatively recent examples from the UK. There are more, and there are more examples from Canada.
So what happens when you put the people responsible for collecting taxes and running the DMV in charge of health care? Nothing good.
