The National Health Service (NHS), which offers free health care financed by taxes, is receiv

By 2007, total health spending in Britain will reach over 9 % of GDPthe same share France had when it was rated the worlds best health service by the World Health Organization in 2000.The Labor governments response was not to conduct a fundamenta

3、l review about how best to reform health care for the 21st century. Rather, it concluded that shortage of money, not the form of financing or provision, was the main problem. In 2002, Gordon Brown, the powerful chancellor of the exchequer, used a review of the NHSS future financing requirements to r

4、eject alternative funding models that would allow patients to sign up with competing insurers and so exercise greater control over their own health care.Alan Milburn, the health minister, has made some tentative steps back towards the internal market introduced by the Conservative government. It mea

5、ns that a dozen top-ranking hospitals will also have been given greater freedom to run their own affairs. However, these reforms will not deliver real consumer power to patients.As a result, the return on the money pouring into the NHS looks set to be disappointingly meager. Already there are worryi

With few controls over the demand for medical care or its supply, costs then spiraled up. Starting in the 1980s there was a drive to contain expen

8、diture, often through crude constraints on medical budgets which ran counter to rising patient expectations. Now this strategy has run its course: a third wave of reforms is under way to increase efficiency and restrain demand through cost-sharing between insurers and patients. Viewed from this pers

9、pective, the governments plan to shower cash on a largely unreformed NHS looks anomalous. But before more fundamental change can be contemplated in Britain, the old system must be shown to be incapable of cure through money. This harsh lesson is likely to be learnt as early as 2003.The proposed alte
