...social views of the American Medical Association are myopic, for if the nation had enough doctors, compulsory health insurance would not force the government to control physicians' rates. Without inflationary pressure disrupting the system, the fees under compulsory health insurance could be provided by paycheck deductions, employer contributions, and equalizing government subsides modeled on the Social Security plan.

For their money Britains get attention from doctors of their choice, hospitalization and surgery, dental work, drugs, spectacles, and false teeth.
