State run National Health Systems

Without all the political drama can people give me their view on this.

The National Health Schemes work in most of the Western World, their success is often down to the amount of money they raise. So with so many examples to work from.

Why didn't Obama build one State run, as an insurance scheme all working people have to pay into. Then use the money raised to pay hospitals a set amount to treat the patients.

Even down to the prescription charges on drugs. The State then controls hospitals and drug companies in the aspect of what they can charge.

Only those on a high wage would end up paying more and many would pay less as they can opt out of the private insurance schemes. Those on a higher wage can still pay in and get their private room, doctor, nurse and meals.
