Obama care

For the sake of argument lets say it does improve healthcare, lets say it is wonderful, perfect even, a score of 100% (which we know isn't true). The fact that it exists means you're not relying on other systems (like the American one for instance, which we'll say is the second best possible, for the sake of argument [though we know that isn't true either]), which would exist in the absence of the nhs. Lets say the American system is downright abysmal and scores a very low 12% rating, well then, the NHS gets credit for 88%, not credit for 100%. Even if it were true that everybody did rely upon it at some point, that would be because they've already paid for it, so it exists in the place of alternatives, why pay for something when you've already paid for it?

Britain does have an alternative to the nhs it is called bupa and works in a similar fashion to the us system. It gives premium treatment and jumps waiting lists. But if you are in bupa you still have to pay for your share of the nhs that is how it should be. Because the nhs is universal health care and bupa denies treatment on the same basis as American companies
