THE ELECTORATES OF DEVELOPED DEMOCRACIES CONSIDER HEALTH CARE A RIGHT...:

Why the British love the National Health Service (Andrew Street, 12/14/16, The Conversation)

 Satisfaction with the NHS has increased over the past few years, with 60 percent of those surveyed in 2015 saying they were quite or very satisfied with the NHS.

According to the Commonwealth Fund's recent survey, 63 percent of those from the U.K. said the NHS worked well.

In contrast, only 25 percent of those from the U.S. said the same about their health system.

The British, take more pride in the NHS than anything else, the royal family included.

International comparisons show that the NHS outperforms other countries, including the U.S., in terms of quality of care, efficiency, access and equity.


...so it is one.  The GOP's challenge is to deliver it via private means before onl;y the public option remains.
