The UK's NHS is held in great esteme in the UK and no politician would dare to suggest getting rid of it (just look at the Tories continued efforts to promote the NHS over the past few years). My own experience of having two children recently on the NHS was that our first son was delivered 3 weeks early in theatre and placed in neo-natal care for two weeks and my wife was able to live in hospital rooms during that time. Our bill for all of that care - nothing! I would place my life in the hand of NHS "death panels" above private "death panels" any day.

Something like "sorry, your insurance company is refusing to let us carry out the treatment plan we discussed" is simply unacceptable in my opinion. Being the treatments more and more expensive though, I think nationalized-based healthcare systems will have "really bigtime" problems in the near future... a lot of money is needed to keep them up. The price for social juistice? Italy 2nd wow. Something like “sorry, your insurance company is refusing to let us carry out the treatment plan we discussed” is simply unacceptable in my opinion.
