In this excellent article republished on the Centre for Public Medicine Website, Robert M. Goldberg discusses an event that he recently attended where the American public were protesting against President Obama’s healthcare reforms.
One thing that is notable about the American public is that because they have never has to suffer the NHS nanny state model of socialised medicine, telling them what is good for them and what they can have, the Americans are well informed healthcare consumers. They know better than most politicians that more government intervention in healthcare will lead to rationing, waiting lists and denial of treatments and care on ground of ‘cost-effectiveness’.
That is why so many of them marched on Washington DC this weekend to protest against the Obamacare health plans.
