Samizdata quote of the day
Natalie Solent (Essex) Health • Slogans/quotations

He [Michael Moore] travels to London to show off the beauty and brilliance of the British National Health Service. He talks to an unstressed doctor who has a four bedroom house in Greenwich and a £100,000 salary from the NHS. He films empty waiting rooms and happy, care-free health workers. He even talks to Tony Benn about how this wonderful marvel came into existence in 1948.

What he hasn’t done is lie in a corridor all night at the Royal Free watching his severed toe disintegrate in a plastic cup of melted ice. I have.

- James Christopher, reviewing Michael Moore's film Sicko in the Times.

Some communities have been more effective at curtailing competition in medicine. In some communities they have a committee of current hospitals that determines if there is a medical need for a new one. These communities have tended to see less competition for medical services and experience lower quality medical care with higher costs.
