I'm not sure what your point is. Since prophesy seems to be fashionable, I believe it was last century when I first commented on UT that unrationed healthcare will happily consume the entire GDP. In the US you do face rationing. Seems to me it's better to unshroud what is going on so society can decide what it wants to do. IME that's a tough decision and people will shy away from it in favor of comfortable partisan sound bites. But it can't stay shrouded for long in the US, thanks to the $47T unfunded Medicare deficit. My advice: brace yourselves for tough decisions that may make you regret posting threads about a UK initiative whose intention clearly has escaped the reporter and others.
