The British National Health Service

In the article "The British National Health Service," the author believes that while there are many problems with the American health care system, we should not try to emulate the British system. According to him, the British system addresses the best interests of the state rather than the individual. Individuals have to wait months or years for hospitalization, tests, and surgeries. The level of care is not as great as in the United States. He says that they get what they pay for. Although there are problems with the U.S. health care system, changing it to a socialist system would not solve anything, according to the author. He suggests that U.S. health care should focus more on preventative care.
