So I find it interesting that the United States is going towards a Public option

while Britain, as model for Socialized Healthcare is going the other way

So which is it?  Which is the better system?

While the rest of the world realizes that govt solutions are inept... we head the opposite direction.

Neither...  the best option is to have a functional NHS for basic care and a strong private market for advanced care -- like France.

You sure about the NHS?  Looks like rationed care:

There's probably been an article for every month of the last 10 years regarding NHS rationing, it's nothing new.

Never been to Drudge, but am I to assume the position of it's another rediculous, American attempt at news broadcasting, kinda like Janes?

I hated Janes, especially when usmarine had a subscription. Nothing can bother you more on the internet or indeed in real life than someone who pays for their news and then wont link you because you can't get to the damn article anyway.

I mean I was borderline going to blow the building up for about 3 months.

Not all NHS's are equal.  France is repeatedly ranked among the best of them, while the U.K.'s system seems to have a number of problems.

Granted, the U.K. is still ranked ahead of our system.

France does seem to have a quality NHS. In some ways, it is more preferable than our hybrid system of privatization/socialized health care.

Its only a matter of time before the French NHS will topple from all their bureaucracy.
