I got hugely irritated over the summer whenever I heard various people in America who were opposed to Obama's reform proposals making all kinds of ill-informed and just plain incorrect observations about the British NHS, "state-sponsored euthanasia" was one example. Where does that come from? The NHS has problems, mainly relating to efficiency, but as an institution you'll find few people in the UK who will say a word against its existence as a principle. Fox News found one or two, I know, but you always can if you know where to look. The efficiency problem, however, remains. It is endemic to all publicly funded organisations, and the larger the organisation, the worse it is. If we could solve this problem we really would be cooking with gas Thanks for this John.
