Mostly agree with this. Any diagnosis, needs to be tested with blood work, X rays etc. Except when we are dealing with a killer virus/pandemic! Then it's vaccinate, vaccinate. And if there are any unknown underlying health issues, vaccinate.

The author states:

"A nationalised health system provides better quality care at a lower cost. Conversely, a commercialised healthcare system does the opposite, as best demonstrated by the United States which has the largest healthcare expenditure of the industrialised nations with the worst health outcomes. A marketised healthcare system ensures greater vulnerability to exploitation of the rich and the poor."

An excellent point.

At the moment we are drifting towards a hybrid system.

It is expensive to get medical care now.

I want the better care provided by a nationalised health system.

I want to be able to choose my own doctor so that he/she shares my own values.

I want to be the one and only to decide whether or not the doctor I choose is qualified for the task. And even if I happen to make a mistake, that is my own body, nobody else's and nobody else should claim that to be their problem or business.

I want my doctor to be loyal to me, not to any state, government, bureau or any other organisation.

And this is naturally only possible when I employ my doctor myself and pay him/her directly from my own pocket.

Medical services are presently expensive, to the extent that I need to think twice whether or not to have a particular test or treatment, but that is precisely because when paying the doctors (and for other medical services) I have to compete with the easy money that government pays the doctors and their guild.

The Title of the thread says it all !
