Problems in Health Reform

A leading British Newspapers has recently flagged up that there may be serious consequences of the current coalition Government's proposed Health reforms. The article states that respected voices across various fields including healthcare, economics, management and even Conservative Party politics have stated this may cause a "train crash" in the NHS as it will impossible to keep up the level of service with the proposed level of funding.

This is possibly bad news for many small businesses, both in terms of their staff and in terms of their overheads as they will have to consider that it may become a necessity to look into employee medical insurance for the whole firm. This may instantly drive overhead up but surely it will have its benefits in the future. The simple fact is that with so many government cutbacks in the pipeline, a de facto Americanisation of the British healthcare system seems to be the only possible result.

Of course the failings of the NHS are no new thing, and private healthcare for many businesses could certainly be a far better option, the thing here is that the Government seems to be driving towards there being no choice in the matter. Some people would like to think that there could still be some choices left in Britain.
