It doesn't work!

While the Obama Administration is frantically pushing our country toward the British system of health care, the British are trying to figure out how they can get out of it. It doesn't work!

The new coalition government there says it aims to shift control of England's $160 billion annual health budget from a centralized bureaucracy to doctors at the local level. In a document outlining the plan, the government said, "Liberating the NHS, and putting power in the hands of patients and clinicians, means we will be able to effect a radical simplification, and remove layers of management." This would change the current system in which how and where patients are treated is largely determined by 150 entities known as primary care trusts.

Hey -- Pelosi, Reid, Obama -- are you paying attention?
