Kudos for Moore for eloquently stating the problems with our current system.
Jeers for presenting such a one-sided utopia as a solution:
But even with these efforts, the British government has found it hard to cover its expensive obligations. So in addition to waiting lists, substandard care and increased outsourcing, the government has adopted outright rationing to control costs . . .. . . Rationing, as history proves time and again, is always a recipe for horror.
The U.S. health-care system certainly has its shortfalls. But the solution to America’s woes can’t be found in the U.K. — no matter how many movie tickets Mr. Moore sells.

It would be so if you were comparing apples to apples, but you are comparing apples to oranges. I imagine the NHS could do quite a bit more than it does with twice as much money. The US spends TWICE as much money per capita on health as does the UK … so show me a health care system that is universal that spends as much per capita as the US does that has problems please.
