British Health Care System Moves Toward Free Market Solutions!

The British government today unveiled a radical, pro-market agenda in healthcare with proposals to encourage hospitals to increase private income and give GPs responsibility for "buying" medical services. Health services will be judged by results, and failing hospitals will be allowed to go bust. Under plans set out in a white paper, the government promised to scrap "top-down" targets in favour of a regime based on clinical outcomes. The document warned that NHS job losses were "inevitable" but said it was vital to switch cash from bureaucracy into frontline services.
