Like a kind of Service, for Health, covering the whole Nation... a National Health Service, perhaps! Sorry, brit here, couldn't resist. It's really interesting seeing (in my unscientific view) America slowly realising it needs to reform profit-driven health, while England's government slowly privatises its existing "free at poinnt of use" service and makes it harder for poorer people to access good health care.

NHS comes across to me as government funded healthcare rather than a gov-kickstarted not-for-profit insurance option. Am I missing a nuance? Not familiar with NHS so I could have a wildly wrong impression of what it is.

Healthcare and medication are different things and as long as we continue to conflate the 2 everyone will be talking past each other.
