El Opinador Compulsivo

Más sobre los sistemas de salud socializados y lo que comentaba esta mañana.

Si son tan malos, ¿por qué el público no se rebela?

I have never seen a poll that drills down into the bedrock to ask just why people like the idea of the NHS, but I suspect it is a combination of three things: a confusion between "free" and "free at the point of use," a failure to appreciate that general performance is much better under other health systems, and an attitude to risk that wants a low-cost remedy in the event of catastrophe. If people did appreciate that other systems are better, the other two considerations might change. However, all Health Ministers of all parties have constantly repeated the refrain that the NHS is the "envy of the world." I hope that will change under a Conservative government and a more realistic assessment will be given to the British people.

Yo insisto: creo que esas explicaciones dejan de lado factores culturales, por llamarlos de alguna manera.
