The UK style healthcare system is fundamentally flawed as it does not attempt to address the root cause of a health problem, and is skewed towards providing a tactical solution to the health problem instead. I.e. fixing up the patient just enough to make them come back later again either with the same or with a new but related health problem. Patients are seen as commercial clients (i.e. cash cows) rather than somebody in a real need. It does not matter who pays (the state or the patient out of the pocket or through a health insurance), as somebody generates the revenue stream for the doctor anyway. Which creates a vicious circle for the patient and adds a unnecessary extra burden on the already strained healthcare system.
Australia and New Zealand face the same problem, but Australia is rolling downhill at a faster pace.
