Every European country does things in a somewhat different way, and perhaps some of those other systems are fairer. more efficient, or whatever. Unfortunately I don't know enough about them to be able to form an opinion, I'm afraid. The important question for me, at least, is not the details of how individual healthcare systems operate, but rather, "do you think that the fundamental principle of government-provided healthcare is right or wrong?" and for me the answer is "it's right". I'm sure that every system has its problems, because there will always be enough money available to spend on it as one would like in an ideal world. Personally, as a person in a decent job, I have no objection to paying £7.50 (or whatever it is at the moment) for a prescription.
