NHS or not?

After watching the UK National Health System by Hawkes, all citizens are cared for by the government using their tax revenue. The citizens are mostly content with the services they receive from their health system. At least every one is cared for and is not at all worried about making outrageous payment, if not insured. It is interesting to know that most people are not mailed their medical bill where as in the US once you go to the hospital even when you are fully covered you are most likely to receive some sort of bill or documentation from the hospital attended. It was interesting to see in the video that some people in UK were demonstrating for the NHS not to adopt the US system.
I also think that having hospitals compete for its survival is a good and interesting way to keep them in business, because it help force the hospital to maintain and provide good health care to its people, since its determined by the number of patients they care for and are able to maintain. Thus the more people live and are kept as patients due to the excellent care rendered, the more likely they would be able to run their hospital. Even though there are disadvantages in this NHS, I still think it’s better to at least receive regular primary care and not worry about medical bills than not visit a physician at all due to cost. Prevention is better than cure therefore, the more people visit the physician the more likely certain preventable diseases will be detected. But are people able to go to the physician in the US as other developed countries like the UK AND Japan for example? Is NHS good or bad overall? Japan’s NHS is fascinating but they are able to at least offer primary care to all their residents. My only concern was that for the physicians and doctors because they are not able to earn as much as they can because of the power of their government and their health care system. I personally think that, even though physician and other health care providers in Japan would love to earn more income for the services they render they still care in providing care for their people, loving their work than to make huge salaries. Maybe it’s also not as costly to become a doctor in Japan and to owe so much on debts which needs to be paid for after completion of school, just as physicians and doctors have to worry about in the US for example. I love the fact that the government were able to regulated for cost effective health care machinery…I’m glad some of these health care machinery can help lower some of the cost in the US since its being introduced here.
Access to care can indeed be available to the people in the US but when you are not insured due to SES or a pre-existing condition then the question arises again, is there truly access to care for the people in the US?
Should health care be made available for all or to people who can afford it? Business for-profit or not?
