IMO the collapse of systems like the NHS is caused by the huge profits made by the pharmaceutical industry (and other healthcare related industries). The duality of a "state controlled front end", but a completely free market "back end" creates huge drain on funds.

Once you put an end to the profiteering, you reestablish control on funding.

Profits are good, they spark innovation (although I don't think they are a guarantee for scientific revolution), but medicin is one area where cost is often completely out of proportion.

Perhaps I am a Pinko red, but I still believe that all people deserve an equally good health care system. If it requires state control to do it, so be it.
