Doctors Vote With Their $$ in England

Click the title above for an intersting tidbit. Seems our British colleagues in medicine are overwhelimingly choosing to obtain their own health insurance and not rely on the government's system to care for them as they age. Me too. (from the times online- Britain)

Dr Sarah Burnett, a consultant radiologist in London who worked in the NHS for 15 years, said she took out private medical insurance while she was employed in the state service because she was unimpressed with the level of care she witnessed first hand.
“NHS treatment is not a pleasant experience in any way — from the standard of the food, to ward cleanliness and the chance of catching MRSA,” she said.
