“Britain, with the most completely socialized health system in the West, now spends the lowest fraction of GNP on health care of any major nation. There are frequent complaints of excessive waits for elective surgery and other inconveniences, but British citizens live slightly longer than Americans, on average, and our overall health conditions are comparable.” CareNationsWaitingConditionsCitizensMajorsWestAverageBritishHealth CareBritainSurgeryComplaintsLowestFractionsInconvenienceHealth SystemOverall Health Book:The Economic Illusion: False Choices Between Prosperity and Social Justice Source: The Economic Illusion: False Choices Between Prosperity and Social Justice

“Human rights are not the preserve of Western activists: The definition must extend to encompass the right to the dignified life; the right to send your kids to school, for that child to get health care, for access for greater prosperity for generations to come and to have a say in the destiny of your community and country.
