I don't really know enough about the US health system to know whether what you say is correct. There does seem to be a lot of propaganda about. What little experience I've had of the British system has been favourable, except for inefficient individual GPs. The waiting list problem was an issue a few years ago, but now there is a rapid through-put. The current news controversy here is about nurses becoming too highly trained and losing the caring ethos. - I'm already seeing some of that. The nursing shortage is predicted to hit 1.4M nurses by 2012, meaning the bar is going to have to be lowered to fill the gap--or we're going to have to get creative with recruiting. Last year at this time my hospital posted 81 nursing positions. (We're on a hiring freeze right now.)
