your nation started off with national funded healthcare. we followed that. your healthcare reformed a few times, latest being with the national insurance and PFI.
we are still stucked with national funded healthcare
Private funded initiatives are highly controversial here.
The idea that public money is used to fund private companies and generate profit for them is an uncomfortable concept with many.
My wife's podiatry department was expected to "Make profit". What they actually mean't was under spend the budget.
I'm not sure whether mixing a public service with private industry is a long term benefit, we will see.
I am ashamed, there are only 22 countries Britain has not invaded.
We were brutal.
nah its ok. we had 67 years to improve ourselves, and we messed up pretty bad. our siblings (singapore and brunei) did even better than us. sure, your nation system kinda messed us up here and there, but our politicians are even worse. they ride religion, ethnicity and the royalty card to further divide us
I think politicians are the same everywhere, it just depends how much the local situation enables their actions.
yeah. so dont feel guilty. humbly i think the brits tried correcting as much as possible the mess they left. given power to local leaders, business partnership, etc. but the local kills the local more.
