@Schouten_B @finner @kDelta @QasimRashid If MRI were cheap we would just do MRI on all. But it is not cheap now. Probably one day.
In single payer costs are limited by the MRI queue. In US by all kinds of kludgy things.

 @Schouten_B @jgordon @finner @QasimRashid Again, you are mixing up two different heath systems, NHS England has half out sourced and sold off itself, and queues down there are longer and services worse than NHS Scotland where the people have insisted in maintaining public ownership. Regardless nobody England or Scotland would ever want to give up this system for the US system.  @kDelta @jgordon @finner @QasimRashid Do you have sources for that in the UK the queues are correlated with things being outsources or sold off? Overall for-profit medical imaging resources have shorter queues than public medical imaging resources. But the UK could be different here somehow (and one could imagine different reasons for that)? |
@jgordon @finner @kDelta @QasimRashid Yeah, some single payer systems (like the UK) are notorious for their lengthy queues, not great either.
