A new model needed.
For many advocates of a change to our "health" system the British NHS has been the commonly chosen poltical model. Those interested in changing our system should reveiw the current problems within the British NHS, as it appears to the health professionals. it is probably discussed best in the BMJ this week but should be followed. I can only wonder how much of the problem is the failure of long range planning, based on changes in disease from acute to chronic, with the fastest growing segment of the population being that over 85 yeasr of age. It is worth reading Ivan Yllich's book "Medical Nemesis", again.
