This is a great piece by Daniel Hannan in last Friday’s Daily Telegraph.  After being much misrepresented following his Fox News interview, he clearly sets out the following points;

  1. The UK healthcare debate is not about insulting the people who work in the NHS it is about reforming a system that, for sixty years has failed the people who need it most.
  2. That those who argue for NHS reform are not automatically suggesting that we follow the American healthcare system, that is full of flaws too.
  3. There are other systems around such as the Singaporean health savings accounts, that do work well to provide the people who need it with good and affordable healthcare.

I have not yet read Daniel’s book, but I think that it will probably be a very good read and I am very much looking forward to exploring his views on healthcare reform in more detail.
