UK NHS is not very good I think (it's the picture that we have in Belgium). I believe that the best system is the Belgium/French system: it's not socialist, it's not liberal, it's conventional medecine: you can be a liberal doctor and you can fix your fees. But you can be a conventional doctor too and it's the gov who determines tariffs (the majority of doctors are conv). If your doctor is conv, you pay only 25% of the ticket (the rest is for your mutual) . This system, very good, not in deficit (behalve in hard times), but has the disvantage to be expensive, has financed by contributions taken on the wages.
Hence this system is the best in the world (UK must send some patients in France and Belgium because her etatic medecine sucks).
For WV, I'm very optimist if John Edwards is the next presidential candidate. If it's Hillary, I think that this state will be definitively lost.
