Bern - it works in Germany. The State pays the insurance for those who cant afford it and on benefits and underwrites uninsurable conditions.
for everyone else tax relief could be given on premiums and, of course, there should be a reduction in taxation to fully reflect the reduce cost to the state.
This way no-one goes without health cover.
What is more important is that the providers of healthcare are seperated from the healthcare budgets and that affects attitudes to treatment.
When I had a bit of a scare and had to go through a range of tests a couple of years ago not a stone was left unturned by The Chaucer and they found something wrong totally unassociated with the problem I went in for. That was because it was paid for by insurance and was not coming out of the Chaucer's budget, they were not limited as to what they could spend on me and just did whatever they considered necessary with no budget constraints.
Comparing that with someone elses experience, but with K&C, while full of praise, rightly, for the staff and their dedication, they did not get nearly the range of tests and checks that I received.
