Yes, in a heartbeat.
And Lewis, I'm sorry, but that's not true at all. Complaints about Britain's system (which is far from excelent, Germany's is way better) are almost all rationing related, not complaints of doctors about unruly patients.
OK, why?
I'm looking for non-Americans to elaborate a little on their experience with their health care system and why you wish to keep/scrap it. I believe there is a lot of ignorance being spouted off about the experience of "socialized medicine" in the health care debate right now (and likely much more to come), and I want to inject a little reality into all the rhetoric.
Why? Well, the waiting lists obviously. The crumbling infrastructure is also a reason, even though there have been improvements on that lately (note I'm talking only about Portugal).
There are waiting lists of months only to see a specialist, let alone to start treatment. Moreover, there is a significant delay in adopting the latest treatments, and even then they are rationed because they are so expensive. *rolls eyes*
The thing that disgusts me most is the delay in cancer treatment and surgeries whereupon many people whose cancer was curable when diagnosed end up sentenced to death.
The fact that the judicial system is very reluctant to punish negligent doctors doesn't help either.
