i work in britains publicly funded health service known indearingly as the National Health Service. i have had good and bad experiences of health care from the national health servce but i value the service highly and i am proud to work for countries public health care system.

i have been hearing a lot of debate about the introduction of public funded health care systems in to America. there is also discussions about the possibilty of privatising the NHS, the arguments for and against are debated with equal passions from both sides.

currently when i go to my doctor or the hospital i know that i will be treated equally as well as the next person with my condition regardless of where i work or how much i earn. i know that i will get treatment from professionals that are qualified to treat me. the professionals that work there are paid to treat me no matter what my condition and i dont have to pay for any of that treatment.



their salary is not dependant on how many patients they treat or how serious the condition or how much medication they can sell. i would be worried about being treated in private health care because of the reasons above. i can take private insurance if wish to as well or i could pay for private treatment form my own pockets if i wanted but i would not trust private health care systems as much as i would people who are salaried by the public taxes.


do you have any thoughts about the value and effect of public funded health care systems against the value and impact of private health care plans.
And the  LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as  one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
